Sorry,...


maybe I misinterpreted the "NCAA should divest....." which implies a sale but, the reality is the NCAA does not have anything to divest itself of at the FBS level. The real issue, at least IMO, is that since 1984 when football TV rights became controlled by the school you created an every school or conference for itself that affects the competitive landscape. It is not as bad in hoops because of the way NCAA tourney money gets distributed and was not bad prior to 1984 because money was not as substantial. The issue then was the NCAA created the haves and have nots by controlling TV exposure. Aside from the question I already asked, relegation is challenged with the same issues as most pro sports, how best to maintain competitive balance, and which pro sports leagues in this country have addressed through various revenue sharing techniques and cost control measures.
