The conference wants the faculty to feel included


Athletics is big business, and to avoid having faculty level constant accusations against the university so much on athletics which diverts funds from the academic mission of the university, the conference looks for ways to get the faculty involved. It lessens the blow and the complaints.

So the conference looks for ways to get the faculty involved. That's that the ACC Academic Consortium is about. That's what the Big Ten CIC is about. I think it's been renamed. It's what the other conferences academic programs are about. When the faculty are part of it, they are less likely to fight against it. That's why they are consulted on new additions. They get a say in who joins the club.

Could the P5 evolve into it's own nationwide league? Works for football, but these conferences are about more than football even though football is the money engine.
