CRAWFORD | SEC's Slive keeps up pressure to autonomize 'big five'

But there was an ominous tone laid down in his insistence that if the "big five" conferences in college football don't get reforms that they are seeking, he's not backing away from the idea that they would push forward on their own.

"As I have said before, if we do not achieve a positive outcome under the existing big tent of Division I," he said, "we will need to consider the establishment of a venue with similar conferences and institutions where we can enact the desired changes in the best interests of our student-athletes."

With that statement, Slive doubled down on the "Division 4" discussion he began in late May at the SEC's spring meetings.

It will happen, the only variable is when.

Yeah, the last guy who said that was talking about bringing a football championship to Louisville.
