with each passing day that the powers that be(big media, SEC and B1G) have the long term goal of controlling collegiate sports and their plan is falling into place nicely. They will continue to use the Big 12 and the ACC until they are no longer useful and then discard them just like they have done with the NCAA and the smaller schools with the only variation being they will cherry pick any remaining desired brands from the Big 12 and the ACC. The CFP was the first piece of the puzzle and weakened NCAA control to an extent. NIL and the House settlement further weakened the NCAA and gutted the resources of smaller schools to fight. The Golden Goose of March Madness is being coopted at present and that will facilitate a final breakaway for the P2 once control of tourney revenues is at hand. 2030/2031 seems like the designated split date. TV contracts coming up for renewal, the rolling average formula for NCAA tourney units will be largely P2 controlled by that point if they continue to get 11 or more Sweet Sixteen spots in coming years, ACC GOR will be minimized for cherry picking at that point and they still have a 5/6 year runway to iron out remaining details and lawsuits. I think their potential miscalculations are the number of disgusted fans who will walk away and likely deny them the broad base of fan support they actually need for ever increasing media rights and government pushback at various levels as winners/losers are chosen and people recognize the institutional impacts across the board. I think the guys considered the drivers/architects of this will eventually be reviled even more than they already are.
