New College Athletic Structure as soon as August

[Muskie]

Mostly football but has some bearing on Basketball (Link (http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/12/report-new-college-athletics-structure-could-be-in-place-by-august/#comments))

The expected power shift in the organization of collegiate athletics could be put in lace as early as August, giving the big conferences a “range of autonomy.” According to a report by (http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/10446900/ncaa-committee-working-provide-wealthier-conference-more-autonomy)ESPN.com (http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/10446900/ncaa-committee-working-provide-wealthier-conference-more-autonomy), a committee of Division 1 athletic directors is working on plans to make it a reality and there are hopes to have it put in place by the end of the summer.

[Always Learning]

Football today, basketball tomorrow.
The powers to be look at all that NCAA tournament money, gate and TV, and cringe that some 20
conferences are getting paychecks they see as $$$$ they want.
It will eventually be a BCS only Organization allied with, by not controlled by, the NCAA.
They will have enough swing to have the TV nets go with them.
In time folks, in time.
Remember the Golden Rule, them that has the gold, makes the rules.
