It's unclear what this would mean


No it's very clear what it would mean. The second some judge rules against the NCAA goodbye most men's sport and almost all women's sports. And because that would violate Title IX, goodbye teams actually associated with the university. We will move to basically a minor league where each booster group at each university has a club that is somewhat affiliated with the school. At that point there would be no regulation, nothing like the NCAA. It will be a madhouse.

The death of amateurism combined with the whole head injury thing will make college football unrecognizable in 40 years. Seeing as how football minor leagues never are successful we have to assume the sport will shrink which will suck for everyone involved.

Therefore the best plan is to delay the inevitable for as long as possible.

Does that make unfair rules okay?



In a way, yes. There might be a few rules that doesn't make the Big 10 happy, but if they upset the apple cart it might tip over onto their golden goose. Better just to leave it alone.

I mean the Big 10 won a national title last year. They aren't at some crazy huge disadvantage anyway. Nothing worth ruining the sport over.

All of this because of satellite camps? Come on. We can justify NFL caliber stadiums, state of the art facilities, camps galore, 50 person coaching staff and support, humongous tv deals all in the name of amateurism but THIS, THIS is the thing that's going to tip the scales??? What are you basing that on?

I stand by my point. Other non sec acc schools have a right to be pissed. You can't justify all of that and then say "no, this is the thing that's too much.....oh and it is a huge benefit to teams in the south....but yeah, all that other stuff makes sense, for amateurs, but this is too far".
