What's this?

The 2 big conferences may be setting the agenda, but they don't have


the power to change the bylaws and other policies without the support of the other DI schools. Assuming they still want to work within the NCAA framework vs. strike out on their own. I guess that is why I am looking forward to see how the votes turn out in December and who votes for what because both could be very interesting.

If the big 2, the Alliance, or even all 5 power conferences don't get everything (or at least a majority) of what they want out of this meeting, then it may show they aren't as powerful as we (the fans) think they are. Also, it could be interesting to see how the different conferences respond to what changes were accepted and what proposals were rejected.

I know some people think the December meeting will produce a radical change that is on par with the NCAA's decision to create the 3 division levels in 1971 or DI's decision to create the 2 subdivisions in football in 1978. It is very possible that could be the case. However, I do think it is equally possible the changes may not be as radical as some people believe they will be because I am not sure schools are as willing to sacrifice the health of the other sports they sponsor in order to get a proposal passed that only impacts football.
