[QUOTE="Techster, post: 983190, member: 360"] [I]Baker said he believes about 100 schools might consider opting into a new subdivision. There are 133 schools in Division 1 football’s highest tier, the Football Bowl Subdivision. [B]Baker’s proposal seems targeted at about half those schools that compete in the five power conferences.[/B] That number of conferences is shrinking to four after [URL='https://apnews.com/article/acc-conference-realignment-expansion-stanford-cal-smu-95e7d6f990dd35a638f9bef72fe96ee7']recent realignment moves[/URL] go into effect next year, but it will still encompass about 65 schools. Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips said Baker needs now to gather support from various constituencies, from university presidents to athletic directors to coaches. [B]“It’s not going to please everybody and maybe some (schools) can and can’t do certain things,”[/B] Phillips said. “So it’s important now to get a reaction from the missive that Charlie sent.” Baker said differences in budget sizes across Division I have traditionally caused conflicts in the NCAA. [B]He wants schools that have the ability to spend more on their athletes to be free do so.[/B][/I] [B][I]The concern among some in college sports is that allowing the wealthiest schools to wield that power will create insurmountable competitive advantages.[/I][/B] Nothing extensively new, but the overall theme here is the decision makers are accepting that some current P5 programs will not be able to compete in the new era.
