Is it simply because the top football programs end up carrying the load for the lower tier programs?
Yeah. That's a big part of it. Why should the major schools have to drag along these dead weight mid-majors? The majors should form their own thing business-wise and the mid-majors can do their own thing.

The S.E.C is leading the charge to break away from the NCAA and has been doing so since Cam. Our league has gotten way too powerful to let the NCAA call any of the shots any longer. In the eyes of the league office the NCAA no longer exists as of this very moment to answer your question. It's all right in front of us.
Right. I don't see how more people don't see this.

I agree in principle. However I can see many potential road blocks to this actually happening. Particularly given that fact that the big football programs are from PUBLIC institutions. I don't know what those road blocks are because I'm terribly ignorant of the law associated with public universities. On the other hand, private universities should have no problem forming their own football league outside the NCAA minus the fact they won't do it without larger football programs.

Jackie Sherrill theorized decades ago that the large football schools would pull away from the NCAA and form their own leagues. Sherrill believes that this is taking shape with conference alignment.
I think there will be rules but players will be paid.
So there will be another organization similar to the NCAA but not called the NCAA that will enforce rules - and allow players to be paid.
So I'm assuming there will be rules as to how much a player can be paid or no? Will they be paid by the universities? If so you know inevitably every participant in every sport on campus will have to be paid as well correct? And how will that deter rogue boosters and agents? Or do we just let that fly?
I can understand breaking away from the smaller schools and forming another division for many reasons, but I'm just curious as to what people think the ideal looks like when replacing the NCAA.

The schools want the NCAA. Without NCAA "oversight" and the guise of the "student athlete" they would have to pay players market value. Now they get a few hundred or a few thousand from boosters or maybe a car. While schools pocket 100% of the proceeds. They don't wanna open that can of worms.

Warning, cool story below:
When I was in the third or fourth grade, my school had this traffic light styel sound sound meter in the cafeteria. If it was quiet the light was green. As it got louder, the light turned yellow. Once it reached a certain volume the light turned red and if it stayed red for more than five or ten seconds, it beeped loudly. The rule was if it beeped three times over lunch we were put on "silence" the next lunch.
One day the light beeped three times, then immediately we made it go off a fourth,fifth, sixth etc. time. It probably went off at least twelve or thirteen times that lunch period before a teacher unplugged it. I never saw it used again.
I think we are witnessing the same event with the NCAA over the last few years.
I know it was a cool story. That's why I told it, bro.
