How many Disneys are out there? The B12 is looking to Mexico, but that

won't move the needle much. You are on to something though. The next big mover will be basketball. The ACC, B12, and Big East need to find a way to continue to dominate. The SEC teams are being ranked this year, prematurally in my opinion, and except for Purdue this year, the Big 10 is always overrated. Basketball could help equalize the media money differentials when the tournament is renegotiated, but it's the NCAA that is in charge of that (sigh). FSU had LSU and Florida scheduled as non conference foes, not sure you can schedule any tougher than that when the schedules are set years in advance. It's going to take scheduling tougher regular season OOC away games for both the B12 and ACC - and winning those games. The cupcake home schedules of Michigan (example) will not fly for a non P2 conference moving forward - that has been proven this year. The problem is, those top schools in the P2 will not play away games against non conference P5 schools.

So wha you're saying is that conferences need to break away from the NCAA**

That is 1 of several options. A second option is for more schools to

Given the way the NCAA is structured, there are ways for change to be made

Nope, they are basically P2 stooges.**
