Waiting for the whole thing to implode.

But we need to talk to some potential allies who might not be inclined to abandon any pretext of an academic mission:

(dealing with football only for this discussion)

Stanford
Texas
USC
UCLA
Penn State
Pittsburgh
Michigan
Miami
Nebraska
Wisconsin
Washington
Arizona
Air Farce
Syracuse
Boston College
Army
Navy
West Virginia
Vanderbilt
Utah
Georgia Tech

Some of the better academic schools in the SEC might come to their senses. Like Georgia and Florida.

Some of the laughable ACC football teams like about 10 of them will have to give up football.
