You both ( @theguru @OlDog75) may be right. It will be interesting to follow it over the next decade. Feels like it could go either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the money is going to be too great for it not to change but I agree, time will tell and it will be fun to watch it evolve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no desire by the Power 5 to break away, in part because they don’t want to run all of the other events which the NCAA is really good at doing. Agreed, I don't think the NCAA is going any where. I think if anything they're understanding that this was going to happen with or without them. Might as well stay relevant.

LOL Never realized it until now. But clearly this is why Texas is heading to the SEC. They want to head there, win a national title with a Manning kid that was only willing to go there if Texas joined the SEC. My prediction is Texas leaves the SEC as soon as Manning does.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where we will be in five years. The players will own sites like BGP staffed by media experts to support their "brand". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that, there is almost no money in a site like BGP. When you consider the "hours involved" from all those involved it is a loss. Fortunately a lot of good BGP members volunteer their time or we (or sites like us) would not exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
