SEC needs Sunbelt Conf: so NCAA won\'t split
In this good article from the Miami Herald it spells out that the major conferences may split from the NCAA to keep the gigantic money from Bowls & the Big Dance all to themselves.
ACC expansion may split NCAA
I say that a coupla conferences, particularly the SEC, must keep the smaller conferences alive. If the SEC doesn't keep the Sunbelt afloat, & has to play vs only the major conferences, they won't have 5 teams to play in Bowls, much less 8 Bowls.
Heck, the SEC plays a round robin with Mid Tenn St, La-Lafayette & La-Monroe now (only the home side, not the double round robin of actually playing a road game). With interspersed games with N Mex St & N Tex St thrown in. Troy St & some ConUSA teams & WAC teams must be kept alive for when there are scheduling conflicts with La-Monroe, etc, which also bouys the SEC's hopes of getting to a Bowl.
No way that the major conferences actually split from the NCAA.
