[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 728324, member: 4572"] Okay, and like I said, if they want to play they can play. The conferences might tell their schools if they want to play have at it, but others may say that if one doesn’t play, nobody plays. The ACC and NCAA cancelled their basketball tournaments last year. Wanna know how many ACC or NCAA basketball games were played after that? Zero. UNC and Duke make all of their money and grow their brands through basketball, so if they were going to take such a huge hit, why didn’t they and the other blue bloods get together and play their own tournament? Again, like I said if schools want to go out on their own and play nobody is going to stop them. But it’s going to create a ton of bad blood between them and the conference if the conference says they don’t want anybody to play. Obviously the schools are the brands, but they aren’t the legislators. Can they create a new legislation if they choose to? Sure. But that’s going to require a lot of work and a ton of cooperation between different schools that they currently don’t have to worry about. If say, 3-4 teams in each of the P5 conferences say they won’t play football it will throw off the TV deals and the total money pool throughout the rest of the conference. Then, the individual conferences will have to decide how the conference money pools will be divided. Will the schools that didn’t participate get their full share? Part of it? None of it? How will that affect their relationship with the schools that did play? If schools play without the blessing of their member conferences, how would TV deals even work? Would they be able to negotiate their own deals for every game they decide to play? I never said schools didn’t have the final say. But conferences and the NCAA as a whole have a lot more say and power than you are acting like simply because the money comes from the conference, and not the individual schools. [/QUOTE]
