Sure they will. The greed isn't going to stop at P2 expansion...

Eventually the mega programs (OSU, Michigan, Alabama, Texas, etc.) will decide they don't want to share the $$ with anyone, even the smaller programs already in the blessed P2. And leaving will always be less legally problematic than trying to kick those smaller programs out of the conference. So the top 20-30 schools from the P2 will ditch the SEC/B10 and form an even more exclusive conference. Granted this is probably 10+ years down the line, but who knows for sure.

Not voluntarily, but some do not contribute like others, and over time that

You're probably right.**
Old Line Hokie • 04/12/24 10:27 AM ET
Nebraska wouldn't leave the B1G for this. And not enough big time programs.
Maroon Baboon • 04/11/24 04:26 PM ET

DMV Gobbler • 04/12/24 09:32 AM ET
How many "big time" programs do you need? **
Old Line Hokie • 04/11/24 06:36 PM ET
3 more at least.
Maroon Baboon • 04/11/24 07:05 PM ET
I was just trying see "if" there was a way to merge the ACC and Big 12...
Old Line Hokie • 04/11/24 07:14 PM ET
Yeah. Texas to SEC and USC to B1G changed EVERYTHING sadly.

It's not research $$$$ that determines AAU membership
mrcaniac • 04/12/24 05:26 PM ET

DMV Gobbler • 04/12/24 05:21 PM ET
AAU has no power to "chop off" research
