Could the ramifications of the O'Bannon case be what's behind the scuttlebutt of the "P5" breaking from the NCAA? And if it's not, could the teams that can survive taking the hit on likenesses and / or television revenue be the ultimate dividing line of the "division 4" and everyone else? I'm not claiming to know anything and I'm not looking to stir things up. I read this article this morning and those were the first things that came to mind. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323446404579010513489442936.html?mod=WSJ_LifeStyle_Lifestyle_6 Edited August 14, 2013 by BaltoBull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s clearly interest in doing something, particularly at the highest levels. I think it’s been a little unfairly appointed that the low resource conferences or schools voted that down. The fact of the matter is there were too many proposals. We need to come together and work through that. That’s a tough issue.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe our athletic dept revenues were 14m recently, so you can do the math. Revenue is more than TV bucks. It's ticket, merch, donations, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
