What's this?

Beating a dead horse but you are in part describing the Knight Commission

recommendations. Especially the part where VT and about 100 other schools need a break to happen in the structure. Create the NCFA, have VT and the 100 go the NCAA D1 route. With the latest rumors about UT and OK wanting to head to the SEC the new super conference or National College Football Association is being created.

"At the same time, the Commission’s restructuring proposal would provide a reset opportunity for FBS programs that can no longer afford to compete at the highest level of college football and would prefer to affiliate with the NCAA, instead of the new FBS football organization. In the Commission’s survey, three in five FBS leaders acknowledged that they spend too much on FBS football “to keep up” with other schools."

Bit of long read but worth it.
