From a Dec. news release:

Quote:The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, a leading voice for college sports reform, informed NCAA President Mark Emmert today that it will examine new models to restructure college sports, citing the challenges created by the “highly commercialized environment” for Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) football and some NCAA Division I sports, particularly men’s basketball.

Commission Co-Chairs Arne Duncan and Carol Cartwright wrote in the letter to Emmert that the Commission intends to explore “alternative structures for Division I college sports, with a special focus on the impact of FBS football.” The Commission is seeking far-reaching reforms that will better prioritize student-athletes’ education, health, safety and success.

In an appearance last week at a Sports Business Journal conference in New York, Duncan offered some restructuring ideas that might be explored. For example, big-revenue athletics programs might be placed in a new division or organized and managed outside of the NCAA.

This is concerning but not something that we should be too worried about, if I were to guess.

I think just the opposite. It signals recognition of the need to split off big time football and basketball from the rest of the NCAA into its own division (or just make it semi-pro), something that conferences and university presidents have been privately discussing for years. Estimates have ranged from 80 to 100 teams comprising the top division.

It will happen in some form, sooner or later. I don't think most of the teams in the AAC have anything to worry about, or at least not most of them. In fact, it would be a huge opportunity to back door membership into what is now the P5. Dollar distribution would be an issue, of course, but we would be on the right side of the railroad tracks.

I think a handful of MWC teams would make the cut, and maybe not anybody else in football.

I would also think that the Big East, some of the WCC, and a few other teams would make it in basketball.

Bunch of do nothing clowns who get paid to smell their own farts. Pretty much the same as the NCAA leadership with a different slogan.

Mark Emmett: "I'd like to see all five of the conference champions get in the playoff."
