NCAA vs the big 5. Is there a war?

With the big 5 throwing their weight around and threatening to change the structure of the ncaa, have they provoked the NCAA into a fight?

You know it. The NCAA figures to keep them in line, the best course of action is to piss off as many people as possible.

IS the NCAA now head hunting? Just a thought...

That's the worst thing they could possibly do, unless they think the "big 5" are bluffing. The quickest way to spark a revolution is to start punishing the people clamoring for that revolution. Especially if that revolution effectively renders your punishment impotent.

The NCAA did not start out as a power broker and did not gain real power until the 1950's and the TV football monopoly. Since that was broken in the late 70's it is just a paper tiger. The war is not between the NCAA and the Big 5, the war is between the Big 3 and everybody else.
