There is more than what is copied below. Good read, imo.

"It was the schools that don’t have the TV revenue coming in that basically stopped that. So the five conferences that may have the wherewithal to do it and think it’s the right thing, they’re basically being hamstrung by what we have always called “the big tent.”

So do you keep the big tent but figure out a way they can do what they want to do and we can do what we want to do? Do you keep the big tent and stay as it is — which I don’t think is workable? Or will there not be a big tent?

I find it fascinating that within the next 12 to 18 months, you’re going to see a real change within the governing structure at the NCAA. Now, I believe you will still have the NCAA. But you if want to go to all levels (of potential answers), someone could say that maybe you won’t have it, or it won’t look like it’s looking now. And then the other thing is, what does it mean? Does it mean that because we are big-time football, we will have a whole other set of rules, and what will those rules be? Will we have separate academic rules? Will we have separate recruiting rules? And this is the real one: Will the concept of amateurism be different?"
