This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

it's going to be interesting to see what they do with by jt
"everything else."
The NCAA is basically on it's deathbed at this point, and if you aren't in the top 80 teams I'm not sure what your options will be for forming a conference/paying players/etc. The top 80 teams will almost need to subsidize the lower leagues to keep them afloat.
And of course the questions remain about the non-revenue generating sports. My guess is that they can continue to exist on a club type of basis with the athletes free to make NIL money if they can get it.
If it was just big time football and men's basketball, this would have been done a long time ago; juggling all the rest of it and getting the public to go along with it have been what caused the delay.
