Got to save public face when and if you break off. Unlike some here, I
think it’s more likely than unlikely, and sooner rather than later.
The Auto Bids aren’t even the biggest thing they are going to ask for, wait until the revenue redistribution details come out. ESPN and Fox are mainly running the show since they write the checks, both of these issues are about making substantially more money for them to pay to the B1G and SEC, and of course to their companies. They want to run the show, and not the NCAA IMHO. I just don’t see how you stop them. By the way on that subject, you need enough states behind this. IMHO neither the state of Virginia or North Carolina will get behind this unless they take both of the larger state schools. That’s important if this goes to The Hill. I said it at least months ago, if not years ago, 48 schools is where I think they are going with the P2.

Auto-bids for non-champions is a bad policy.

It’s hard for me to believe nonP2 would allow this, but maybe you want them

Even if I was the SEC and B1G I wouldn't want it. It's just lame.**

It's a bargaining chip. They don't really expect to get 4 guaranteed spots
