What's this?

If geography and money is important, then is there a possibility

that a third association forms? For example, the Southern schools that value academics and don't necessarily want to subscribe to the SEC's pro model forming their own association. An example could look like below.

UVA, maybe VT, Duke, UNC, NC State, Wake, GT, maybe Clemson, FSU, maybe Miami, maybe Notre Dame, Vandy, GA, and UF

The other thing I'm interested to see play out is what happens to all the other NCAA schools. Will these new "associations" allow them to join? Will they remain in the NCAA, join the NAIA, or form their own association? Will these new associations only be for specific sports or all sports? I do agree that the current status quo won't cut it any more and something has to give here. I'm not sure what that something or somethings is/are at this moment because there are too many moving parts to get a clear picture. Honestly, I'm not sure even the schools know what direction they want to go in at this juncture.

If you cut DI-FBS scholarships to 65, then would you reduce DI-FCS -- VTHokie2000 04/27/2022 11:52AM

Make it the same, 63, then open up the FCS playoffs to any D-I team. -- Truthahn 04/27/2022 12:30PM

If it ends up being the same number, then do you re-combine the 2 -- VTHokie2000 04/27/2022 1:04PM

None of that requires a HQ in DC -- Vienna_Hokie 04/26/2022 08:02AM

It doesn't require for some industries, but it's way better for others. -- Stech 04/26/2022 08:24AM

I agree, could it be the home of the combined ACC/SEC -- Mercury 04/26/2022 10:26AM
