The blue blood brands will always compete for the championships, no

matter what congress does. It's my bet, that if there is any action, it will be about education, Title 9, and other student athletes getting paid, whether or not they play for the revenue generating sports. They will tout it as standing up for education, women, and Olympic sports. The rich schools will remain rich, but with the athletes being paid, different levels of competition will have different levels of the % of revenue distributed based on the level of competition. It's my guess that unless some schools come up with the money, FBS may be reduced to the current power conference + 1 or 2. Many, if not all of those in Conference USA, the Fun belt, and the MAC will not be able to hang, and we will end up with 2 "G" conferences that will also compete, if they can come up with the minimum amount of money it will take. Set a minimum and a maximum on what the FBS has to distribute to the players. ND, tOSU, Texas and all of the other rich schools can keep their money, but if it's done right, they will not be able to out spend a K-State or a VT in regards to paying players.
