I think only about 24 schools (wild guess) would end up *not* walking

in that scenario. A gradual landslide so to speak that would allow for a reset of the out of control escalating spending wars and NIL issues. Those that “stay” would largely be the power blue blood football schools.

So the loss to the breakaway schools would not be in basketball but would be in football revenues to the extent that the largest tv pay checks would go to the 24 football powers. The breakaway football schools wouls still get plenty of TV exposure but just not as much money.

I'm pretty much walking away from collegiate sports at this point. -- MP4VT2004 06/04/2020 9:11PM

When they break away. Want it be totally PRO? ** -- MrFantastic! 05/28/2020 09:23AM

Not in favor of it, but it's become inevitable unfortunately. But I do -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 05/28/2020 11:10AM

I would be equally fine if the schools decide to go totally pro -- VTHokie2000 05/28/2020 10:03AM

LOL and take that NCAA. ** -- IB4TECH 05/27/2020 9:52PM

If Dodd is correct (broken clock theory) than I bet -- goldendomer 05/27/2020 5:13PM

Do you think ND would try to lead others? In a good Way? ** -- MrFantastic! 05/28/2020 08:06AM

Yes, along with Stanford and other -- goldendomer 05/28/2020 09:25AM

Not sure that Stanford would take a step back -- EDGEMAN 05/29/2020 08:56AM

Their football is not BIG BOY BIG. -- MrFantastic! 06/02/2020 06:53AM

Stanford has a huge advantage in Olympic sports with its huge endowment ** -- UpperQuad 06/12/2020 01:40AM

Not to mention their "pro" Olympic teams ** -- VTHokie2000 05/30/2020 2:48PM

ND has invested upwards of 400 million dollars -- goldendomer 06/02/2020 1:21PM

If ND walks, I think there will be plenty of other schools that -- Femoyer Hokie 06/02/2020 1:51PM

I agree with what you say, but I find myself questioning -- VTHokie2000 06/11/2020 09:37AM

But would this breakaway only be in football though? -- VTHokie2000 06/11/2020 10:36AM

I see the breakaway as total. All sports. And the big football money -- Femoyer Hokie 06/11/2020 10:49AM

As far as a "real tournament goes," I would not be too sure about that -- VTHokie2000 06/11/2020 11:22AM

Yep. It is complicated. -- Femoyer Hokie 06/11/2020 11:40AM

All the more reason it will be interesting to see how things -- VTHokie2000 06/11/2020 12:04PM

So true. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 06/11/2020 12:06PM
