The new subdivision would do the following:

• Schools may opt in or out to the new subdivision.
• New subdivision has strict minimum standrard rooted in athlete investment.
• Members may create their own NIL deals with their own athletes.
• Members may directly compensate athletes through a trust fund.
• Members are required to distribute to athletes "thousands of dollars in additional educationally related funds without limitation."
• No cap on the amount of funding that a program can provide an athlete.
• Entry into the subdivision requires a minimum $30,000 per year per athlete investment into the "enhanced education trust fund" for at least half of the school's countable athletes.
• Schools determine when the athletes receive the amount, which will total $120,000 for four-year athletes.
• Schools must abide by Title IX framework, 50% of the investment must be directed towards women athletes.
• NCAA will be over the subdivision and the members will compete against other members in Division 1. (Current CFP models and national championship selections methods are unaltered).
• Schools in the new subdivision have control of decision-making regarding schoolarship limits and countable coaches. Major conference programs can increase the limits or do away with them altogether.

You and I have talked about this a number of years going back before Maggard was hired and some people laughed at us on RP. I thought the number that would eventually separate was around 40 or 50, but that number will be much less than that when it settles.

Well, since there will be no NCAA regulations if they separate. That would depend upon which regulations you are talking about. :)

Well the Vanderbilts, Indianas, Kentuckys and others will soon want the same for MBB. That is how they will stay in the club.

They should just make the scholarships numbers cumulative and let schools decide which sports they want to focus on. If you want to have 85 football Walkons but 95 baseball scholarships so be it.

It won't keep those schools with the best football programs, that's what this separation is about.

TV probably wants it narrowed down to about 32, a nice neat bracket. Just like the NFL.

First, it should be said the NCAA should have allowed modest stipends to athletes years ago. Increasing $$ from freshman thru senior year. But not a socialistic stance that every athlete in every sport mens or womens gets the same $$. Non PC Alert: The proposal of 50% to women athletes is just asinine especially now with NCAA allowing men to declare their womanhood playing college athletics. Insanity. I've got two daughters that played track & field and swimming long ago so am all about girls having opportunities to play sports, too. But not at any cost to be all things to all people. The NCAA can collapse under the weight of its stupidity and social agenda for all I care.
