Hammer, I do not dissagree but a reality check. The NCAA needs the big boys, they no longer need the NCAA. The NCAA has a big basketball contract, but so what? If the six BCS confernces decide to pull stakes up they can have a new contract tommorrow.

I will not put all the evil on them. They said recently they do not want the Lamars and Mcneeses of the world telling them what to do. There was a recent attempt to do a modest payment to athletes and it was rejected by the lower divisions, and FCS schools. I think every Sun Belt school voted yes, but it still failed. That did not play well.

IMO Emmert is trying to hold the NCAA together, not trying out for a new job in an elite association.
