Major problems here...
HokieToph • 07/09/22 10:38 AM ET
Lets say there is 48 teams that break away from the NCAA, or even 64
Maroon Baboon • 07/10/22 01:44 AM ET
Some problems I see.

Does the bball tourney money NOT go to the schools now?
TDVick • 07/08/22 08:45 PM ET
Goes to the NCAA, the football money goes to the Conferences/schools/**
Stech • 07/08/22 10:09 PM ET
I'd see if ND would join IF we added Stanford, Cal, UW, UO, and WVU/Navy
daveinop • 07/08/22 08:32 PM ET
Lots of rumors about all of that, first priority I think is who does ND
Stech • 07/08/22 10:15 PM ET
You're talking about decreasing individual school's payouts
EDGEMAN • 07/08/22 08:55 PM ET
All the other B10 and SEC schools must not get it either, because they

You're right for now, but don't skate to the puck, skate where it's going!

Well... not so sure about your stats...

Again: Their methodology is EXTREMELY FLAWED...
jesuisvtguy • 07/08/22 09:20 PM ET
Of course it's flawed, or at least there are other variables at work.
Maroon Baboon • 07/08/22 09:30 PM ET
Not so sure, don't give your opinion, look them up and then let me know.
Stech • 07/08/22 08:14 PM ET
On which part? Where did I err? Do you have a reference to research...
jesuisvtguy • 07/08/22 09:23 PM ET
I still think the ACC should help itself with a missing rivalry
HOO86 • 07/08/22 07:32 PM ET
I would be very happy with WVU, I agree on the rivalries for football, but

No, doesn't change my mind
Pylons • 07/09/22 12:21 AM ET
you think the ncaat is still worth $1B after P2 break?
HokieHollar • 07/08/22 07:03 PM ET
Good question, it may go down some at first, let's say it drops to 800 mill
Stech • 07/08/22 09:06 PM ET
It is dropping.....
2hhoop3 • 07/09/22 03:07 PM ET
NCAA made 870 million this year and most of the money is for later rounds,

Pylons • 07/08/22 07:03 PM ET
We can agree to disagree respectfully, or at least I will respect you, but
Stech • 07/08/22 09:08 PM ET
Sorry if it seemed disrespectful.
Pylons • 07/09/22 02:42 PM ET
They might equally value Stanford. Don't know if Stanford would join
daveinop • 07/08/22 06:56 PM ET
Yeah I would have said Stanford was nuts 9 days ago, but after USC/UCLA

If it later also becomes about men's basketball, add UConn, not Navy.
Old Line Hokie • 07/08/22 06:46 PM ET
UConn or Kansas would be good one's too. I think Navy would get ND off the

But this ignores a key function of the NCAA...tax exempt status

I am involved in 501-C3's, and one of the biggest categories is for sports,

🚢 Navy to ACC? 1️⃣ ND wouldn't do it. 2️⃣ Navy wouldn't a SHOULDN'T do it.
