RE: If you guys haven't seen this
"It's sheer selfishness on the part of the FBS, and it has been institutional by a no-guts NCAA membership that gave up its one-school, one-vote rule because of blackmail," said Lopiano, president of consultant group Sports Management Resources and a sports management teacher at Southern Connecticut State University.

The "blackmail" to which Lopiano refers is a threat, recently vocalized by SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, to create a new division within the NCAA or leave the organization. That, too, is disingenuous, Lopiano said, because the Big Five conferences cannot afford to lose the tax benefits they're afforded as federally recognized nonprofit institutions.

The move toward autonomy, Lopiano believes, is simply a way to protect and enhance the status quo for big-time football schools, and she is not alone in that belief.

----


As for the threat of leaving the NCAA, it's a ruse, Lopiano said.

"What's bad is that the other thousand NCAA institutions don't recognize that it's a nonexistent threat," she said. "Big-time schools can't leave; Congress would take away tax preferences and remove federal assistance.
If they leave, now they're not a nonprofit. They're hiding behind the skirts of the rest of the NCAA institutions."

I didn't know there were 2 other bills submitted to Congress also. I bet they could get consolidated as a package to move forward faster on this.

RE: If you guys haven't seen this
Good article and like I said in another thread, the nonP5 schools won't be able to 'win' their way into P5 status so it's silly to try and compete against using their rules ....when they are making the rules. Instead ...it's going to take a legislative or legal approach to set transparent guidelines and organize a centralized governance structure that has the best interest of the athletes and collegiate athletics in mind instead of sharks like Swofford who has seemingly had a singular purpose to destroy conferences like the Big East.

RE: If you guys haven't seen this
If Congress controls the tax-exempt status of the large land grant state universities then I seriously doubt those universities are in danger of losing that status. That would be a career killing vote by a congressman. The author acts like it's a foregone conclusion. I think the legal avenue holds more promise than the legislative. Still a long shot, but not hopeless.

Really?

I count 15 states without BCS representatives. Most of them lowly populated. I'd bet California, New York, Texas, and Florida have more representatives than all the non BCS states combined.

I agree but also question how the reps in G5 centric districts will vote? What about alumni of non-P5 teams? What about P5 alumni who see the difference between right and wrong? I think it would be a lot closer than most think. NC's reps are definitely favorable.
