My point is that I think the B12 would like some of the Mag 7, without

enough leaving though, the GOR would crush the small amount of schools that would be left. The majority "could" create a case against the GOR, but 2-3 schools would get crushed in court IMHO. However, all of this pales in comparison to a Pay for Play Division. Once that happens IMHO it will, many will opt out of being Tier 1 because they are going to need to be in the P2 to be able to afford to do it. Now what could save the B12 and the ACC is if they start paying out basketball like football, but I don't think the P2 wants that money for their tournament going to the NCAA anymore, they are going to use it to pay their athletes. The other divisions will be run by the NCAA and they will have their own tournament. Some of the higher rated academic schools want to keep this set up and some just won't get a choice.

IMHO as i stated in another post, we don't know what Boo & jim Grobe stated
Stech 12/06/23 11:03 AM ET
true. But if NCSU is eventually left behind, then that might be the reason.**

Assuming the P2s decide to participate in this proposed new DI subdivision

Good questions, IMHO it’s going to be really tough to afford pay athletes
Stech 12/06/23 08:20 PM ET
I agree with you that all 4 are probably for it. However, I think we can
VTHokie2000 12/06/23 08:40 PM ET
All 4 in a P2 would go from 40 million to about $80 million in media money.

I get that the money will be going up. What isn't clear to me is how

They may have a ramp up, but eventually lik Oregon & Washington it’s better
