I predict a break away of "like-minded institutions"
And "like-minded institutions" means football + basketball and the break away will be for both sports.
No more supporting the rest of Division One, Two and Three with basketball units.
No more getting to concentrate on just basketball because you do not have a football team or barely fund one.
No one gets left behind who is willing to play by these rules.
No FBS football team = No Dance.
Everyone is afraid the Big 5 are going to leave the rest of the NCAA. I do not think so. I think the schools in the top 5 conferences are going to take the G5 schools and every basketball centric school who can produce a quality football team to a new tier. This new tier will house about 160 schools, which is the equivalent of eight twenty team conferences.
Most of the football money will be made by the Big 5 conferences and basketball revenue is spread over much fewer schools based largely on tournament success, like today.
Once the B1G and SEC go to 20 there will be plenty of conference shake-ups to allow FCS schools that can migrate up to do so. Everyone will not necessarily go to 20, of course.
