Lots of events over the years have caused greater inequities between "power" conferences and others. This latest initiative may really start the ball rolling for a complete separation of the 65 "educational institutions" from the others. What's next? A 65 team power conference Men's Basketball Championship where all of their members can participate and share revenue? With 65 teams, they already have the format/schedule in place. That's been the dream for years. www.lohud.com/story/sports/college/2014/08/07/ncaa-hands-big-football-conferences-power/13757971/ |

The truth of the matter is, there is little to no incentive for these 65 power schools to deal with the rest of D1 schools. I don't see March Madness including the Mid's down the road, I'm sure there will be some alternative tournament, which may or may not be beneficial. I would think by 2020 the NCAA tournament as we know it is gone!

I think (and believe many fans think) the biggest fascination with the NCAA Tourney is the potential of a small school knocking off a powerhouse. I think that will remain untouched. |

Not so confident. The conference realignments showed it was all about the dollars. I fully expect the "Haves" to want to "have it all". Truly sad.

It's all about money, power, and ego. Schools like the U of Texas having their own TV network are a prime example. Only input from television revenues will have any influence as to what happens to the NCAA tourney. I think our administration sees this and is positioning us for the best possible outcome down the road. |

I believe there will be a Division 1 and Division 1A. We'll be in the latter.
Media revenues will control the decision-making.

Perhaps collegiate sports goes back to the days when schools could maintain Division 1 (or 1A in this case) status in a school's major sports while playing down a Division or two in other sports? Could open up chances for hockey (men's and women's) to come back on a Division III non-scholarship basis. Hey, I can hope, can't I?!?  |

The recent U.S. District Court Judges decision that college basketball players should be compensated will sharply change College basketball as we know it and revert it back to the ''Have and Have not'' era....The top 50 -60 endowed schools will have regained control...
This metamorphosis will not only change for players, but will have a profound outlook for Coaches...There will be a giant strive for them to reach the big money
that only top schools can provide. As this money gap will naturally widens ,it will bring about extreme position competition and possible the wrongful past ions temptations...
Many capable coaches will reach a point that they will have difficulty advancing simply because there will be restricted room and longer stays at their present schools can be anticipated.....
These changes will be brought about by greed and the overwhelming ambition to once again be in complete control...
As the NCAA is getting a dose of its own medicine, it should be quite a battle...

I imagine every non-big 5 conference school voted this way. So what do you think happens next? They secede from the NCAA? Such greed. |

From USA Today a list of the 27 schools that voted for the override. Far fewer than necessary to derail/postpone the plan.
The 27 schools pushing for an override were: the entire Colonial Athletic Association membership (College of Charleston, Delaware, Drexel, Elon, Fordham, Hofstra, James Madison, Northeastern, Towson and William and Mary), Bradley and Indiana State of the Missouri Valley Conference, Chattanooga and Wofford of the Southern Conference, Houston Baptist, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Sam Houston State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi of the Southland Conference, New Hampshire and Vermont of the America East, Iona and Saint Peter's of the Metro Atlantic, Loyola (Chicago) of the Horizon, Seattle University of the WAC, and University of Denver.

I don't get why more mids didn't block this. Stupid. I guess some schools feared being black listed. The good news is that we now have 27 other schools with whom to build a new conference  One one hand the power 5 can put us on a persona non grata list and not schedule us, but we're kind of on that list already simply by virtue of being a good mid major; on the other hand every time we get snubbed for a game by a BCS school we can claim its retaliation for our vote and raise a stink. Its more than just money as far as I see it. The egos of the people in charge at these schools are out of control. Just look at the Alabama AD and the young lady who wants to transfer to Seton Hall for confirmation. Its a sad commentary that guys at schools like Alabama have these delusions of grandeur. |
