If you read this article, it is clear that the Power 2 want to not only separate themselves from the G5 but they want to clearly distinguish themselves from the Big XII and ACC.
I am a bit incredulous when it comes to being told that Congress (many of whom have degrees from Power 2 schools or could see big monetary contributions from these schools) is going to regulate what the NCAA cannot.
And before we bring up baseball as a needed sport for the PAC, Boise State doesn't have baseball. They tried to bring it back after 30 years but Covid stopped that first season back and they killed it again shortly after.
We do not. I thought baseball was a major hole in our program until somebody mentioned SMU hasn't has baseball since the 80s. I had no rebuttal and stopped crying about it since then.
Long article, but a good recap of where many issues stand. Main summary is that a unified Congress (Republicans) may be able to finally quell the lawsuits and keep the NCAA from eating its own over revenue to the biggest programs...
.......................................................
"A bipartisan group of senators is drafting a measure to help prevent a split among NCAA schools."
"Many in college sports believe that an unregulated market will inevitably push the small group of schools that generate most of the industry's revenue to sever ties with the rest of their Division I peers. A split could create less interesting matchups for fans and jeopardize the ability of smaller schools to keep funding sports at their current levels. Cruz said he wants to give the NCAA the tools it needs to stop that from happening."
"Nobody wants to see a handful of super schools with unlimited cash, all the best athletes and nobody else even able to survive," Cruz said.
"For too long the NCAA failed to address issues to protect athletes, but obviously there is new leadership there at the NCAA," Blumenthal said. "There is also a real need to make sure there is a level playing field among schools, or at least as fair as it can be."
