The SEC and B1G are going to make a lot more money than the others, the "P5" concept is dead, it's now a P2. Nothing IMO will change that.

I was wondering if I was going to be the only one to find this article to be so much word salad and hand wringing and very little on direction.

For instance in the SEC Sankey, and Slive before him, had the largess and trust to forge some change. I feel Delaney was the same. Presidents therefore are not as obfuscatory as Thamel paints them to be. He also, IMO, intentionally paints breakaway as unlikely citing presidents. Many presidents simply want larger revenue streams and are smart enough to see the changed dynamics of the NCAA and also recognize its impotence. At least in our climes there is no aversion to the concept.

I feel he got two things right. The SEC and B1G can distance themselves by focusing on the quality of players they get. And as Kavanaugh intimated each conference is encouraged to chart its own course.

Everything else will shake out accordingly.
