re: Joel Klatt: Conferences will drop schools that don’t bring in as much revenue as top teams

I think the move is actually a rebellion against the current trajectory. I believe we're going to see schools like Stanford, UF and some others that don't thrive in an NIL environment, break away. A new division will be formed.

No NIL, no portal, rules to govern coaching buyouts, less time away from academics, with a revenue sharing model for players - and I believe this will survive a court challenge for those wanting to keep NIL, and there will be a challenge as soon as the first player inks a deal and the new division says, "ok that's fine, but your eligibility is now gone."

There are many schools in the nation with excellent fan support, that made money, yet will not be big players in NIL. Those schools will still thrive if they go back to a non-NIL system but have a system where players get some money. There are easy solutions for that problem.
