The end of the NCAA governing

I’m not so sure that in the end blowing up the whole system is going to turn out the way most have long hoped and dreamed for. I think reform is needed, but I have serious concerns the product will be worse in the long-run if the entire model is hit with a wrecking ball.

I honestly would feel pretty bad for the smaller schools, too. A super-conference of the Top 60 teams competing probably will have unforeseen ramifications on some of the events we love most, like March Madness.

If Jim Delaney still ran the B1G, I might agree with you, but with the way their new commissioner has operated, blindsiding the other P5 conferences with his conference-only decision and now cancelling, I don't believe the other commissioners, particularly the SEC and ACC view him and the B1G as a viable partner to hitch their wagons to.

I don’t think the Big 10 had any intention of canceling to begin with. I may be wrong but the whole vote no vote thing was fishy and in my opinion, a way to call the bluff of the SEC and ACC. Add in the fact that there’s talks of still practicing and possibly holding “scrimmages” with other teams is just weird, what’s the point in canceling?? Kinda like the whole Kelly Washington, Donte Stallworth thing. You go pro and then I’ll announce I’m going pro. Oh you’re going pro? Well I was just kidding and think I’ll stay in college...
GBO!!

Once the Power 5 conferences break away from the dreaded ncaa to form their own governing body, does that mean the member institutions will then be free to hire coaches like Donnie Tyndall who still have the proverbial albatross of a "show cause" penalty around their necks?
Surely all ncaa-imposed penalties will then become null and void in the eyes of the new organization.

I think ole Donnie is up to 25 years show cause now....He got several years added for the sins of Kansas...LSU....Arizona...Auburn. ;)

If the power five conferences pull away from the ncaa,I think Emmett would be the perfect choice.Head in the ground,butt in the air,provides a direction to go by doing nothing!Who could possibly better stalWART!

What good will it do? Unless you highly favor paying players, ending amateurism. That will be the main effect.

Outside of that, you are trading the NCAA for rule from Birmingham.

I don't get what people expect. The main pushers against the NCAA are the people that want to professionalize it, social justice folks, and so forth.

I think the leader in the club house would be Greg Sankey. But unless you have your head in the sand, they're a group of schools that are football factories, which I have no problem with. But their are others just going thru the motions to collect money from the lucrative TV deals

Because SEC offices and their officiating are real encouraging...pass.

A governing board of 60 school presidents.... See how that works. Or a board of 120 presidents and A Dirs. NOW,, that would really do the job. To make it more workable have the legal staffs of the schools over see everything and to not slight the poor athletes, have the schools Human Resources Dept also be involved.. Yeah that should do it........;)

Who's going to check out the eligibility of every athlete at every program? Who is going to fund this new governing body?

I think we are seeing the beginning of the top 60 programs break away from the NCAA. They will adopt their own rules, without the NCAA dictating eligibility, transfers, and entrance requirements. They will establish their own playoffs, whether that be 4 or 16 teams. Big time college football doesn't need the NCAA. They dont need Vandetbilt, Wake Forest, Boston College, and others sucking money from the schools that wanna play big boy football.

The top 50-70 "programs" will break away, and perhaps there is no better time than now. The arrogance in making a sweeping decision & shut down an entire conference. How Freaking dare they do that, and i hope some programs leave the Big 10 forever. Why not give programs the choice?
Consequences: I think there is a chance that Nebraska bolts from the Big 10 for the big 12. If Ohio State is smart, they go play in the ACC this year. There will be some opt outs like perhaps a Vandy, or a team (or two) from the ACC.

Emmert: No NCAA championships for fall sports
Click to expand...
The quickest way for the NCAA to marginalize themselves is to declare that there can be no college football champion this year. I mean, everyone else in America can recognize a champion and tell them to pound sand.

It won't matter if they only play 2-3 games before the whole shebang shuts down. But if they end up playing a season and have a 4 team playoff between the SEC, ACC and Big 12... then there will be a champion, regardless of what the NCAA says.

This pertains to every fall sport except FBS football, as the NCAA does not sponsor a championship for the 130 FBS teams. There’s nothing preventing preventing North Carolina soccer or Arkansas cross country from competing this fall, but there will be no playoffs or NCAA title awarded if they do.

Funnily, that NCAA decision applies to everything BUT the FBS in football. Because the NCAA doesn't run the College Football Playoffs.

If I were a soccer player or any other fall sport athlete, including the FCS in football, I'd be screaming for the NCAA to be run out on a rail.

EDIT: Heh, Trumped, you beat me to it. :)

This is the most ridiculous part of today’s announcement. I get that no FCS football teams are permitted to play more than four games and that the majority of teams participating in the other sports are postponing their fall season, but saying that the six remaining conferences can’t compete for a national title feels like the last-ditch malevolence of a jilted ex.

I don’t know enough about this weird year to say whether or not the SEC will be permitted to play football without other fall sports (namely women’s) taking place since there are typically rules about that, though I’m sure it could fly this time around, but I hope that they play conference-only schedules regardless.

Right, now it seems they are shopping for help from the US congress liberals to help their "power struggle". Yeah, lets see how this works out. Lets see, with government help they could get the FBI to check eligibility. Oh, to pay (and make profit) they could enact a new ticket tax and TV rights tax, that should help offset the new guidance for sports led by the school and politician, experts in the handling of sports. We all know academicians and politicians know how to run everything. Like education that matters and a worlds well being. :rolleyes:

It's not the NCAA, it's the Universities that are the real problem.

How can Michigan State not play fall sports, but intramural sports are ok there? WTF is that?

The power 5 conferences like it exactly as it is because they can do as they please. The Big 10 cancelled. The SEC is (for now) playing. The NCAA had stayed out of the way.

I’d expect status quo.
