They have that now. The conference created the divisions.

I'm sure the $2,000 - $5,000 is just a jumping off point. Some of the better players will get a few hundred bucks for little things.
Having a cookout? Here's a thousand dollars for some hot dog buns.

As I understand the rule, to have a conference title game, the NCAA requires divisions. The Big 12 wants to have a title game, but cannot because they have one 9 game schedule.
Some years a conference may have the best 2 teams in one division and should play again in the title game.

It might be a good idea, but would eliminate an "off" week at the very least, which is an issue from the academics standpoint.

yea, it's really just a "raise" to what they are already being "paid".

I wonder if this rule allows each league autonomy to determine their league champion...The ACC and SEC would be well served to have the freedom to eliminate divisional play (if they choose) and pick the top 2 teams for their conference championship game.
I've also heard the Big 12 is interested in having championship game with only 10 members.

Well, most schools need 7 home games for the money. That is in part why the SEC and ACC are staying at 8 games. If both 14 team leagues did not have to comitt to the same divisional foes every year, a 9 game schedule would probably work because you will have the chance to play against more schools that you would not normally see...For example, Clemson hardly ever gets to play Miami and I am sure there are SEC examples.
Being able to select to the to 2 ranked teams as opposed to the 2 divisional winner would make a better conference championship game and a better chance of 1-2 teams making the playoff

Yea the problems are the avenues for cheating are already there, this only simplifies that pathway even more.
People who think that somehow the NCAA "is the problem" are simply naive fools, the NCAA is just the representative body of all schools, it's an entirely necessary and vital function.

Why?
Why does it bother people if student athletes are actually compensated for their hard work. I genuinely do not understand.
These SEC schools are making upwards of $100,000,000 per year in revenue on football alone, and the thought of paying the kids who are actually responsible for that revenue is taboo. It's absurd, and there's literally no good argument against it.
The Olympic model is the obvious answer. If JM wants to sell a couple hundred autographs for 10K, let him do it. If Jim Bob Chevy in Tuscaloosa wants to pay Yeldon for doing a commercial, go for it. If Pilot Oil wants to sponsor Dillon Bates, that's their prerogative.
It doesn't change one thing. The games will still be played. The same teams will have the same built in recruiting advantages. It changes nothing, except for a few student athletes quality of life.

Some rule changes could come pretty fast ... here's the projected timeline.

The players that are good enough end up getting paid eventually. And before injuries are brought up. I can think of way more guys that got drafted with an injury than those that had a career ending injury.
Hopefully, this brings us one step closer to paying players. It's time for these Universities to stop stealing from their athletes.

The NCAA is its members. If the Power 5 wanted to break off they could and the NCAA could do nothing about it. The only incentive to stay in the NCAA is that the structure is already there (and of course the REC runs it)
Posted on 8/7/14 at 1:05 pm to YouDontKnowBro
The problem is if the Power 5 doesn't move and start paying players through a compromise system then that federal judge will jump and an force an NFL system (down to the salary cap).
They have to do this.

I'm pretty sure they can't under the current rules.

Good luck recruiting the state of Texas with that system in place. "Hey JM come sign my football for oil well royalties."

The Big 12's round-robin scheduling ensures that in-conference scheduling is even on a team-basis. Why would you need a championship game when the best teams have already played during the regularly scheduled games? I don't see the benefits of a relatively small conference having a championship game.

The national collegiate athletic association is just a fancy name for the illuminati, more commonly referred o as the red elephant club.
