I think that, eventually, the NCAA as a governing body over "big time" football and men's basketball (I hesitate to say "Power 5" as a lot of P5 schools wouldn't make it to any "superleague") will be a thing of the past - and Notre Dame's AD agrees
with me.
I think that will pretty much end the NCAA, however. That's EXACTLY what I see happening, and I see incrementally more talk of a Super League-ish football scenario, at the barest of minimum.
But without the income of the few power schools propping up the NCAA, that and the transgender issues especially (and I do think race may also enter into play here -- I could see a lot of schools wanting to go back to White-only teams, even though Bear
Bryant was openly taught that's not a good idea on the field) will end a national sanctioning body at the university level.
I could see several regional bodies perking up, but I see no real middle ground between right and left states, as it were, on a number of issues that the NCAA would have to deal with -- and be in conflict with current US Federal law and mandate.
I could see the NAIA rising to more prominence as an attempt to have a national sanctioning body, but I don't see agreement in the gulf between left and right, nor the gulf between relevant and irrelevant (and that can be taken both in revenue generation
and in competitive nature).
The players won't even have to attend the schools.
This is one of the reasons I eventually believe the NFL will take over. The biggest problem with the NFL spring farm leagues (even through the AAFL, which was an open farm league for the NFL) has never been the NFL branding it. It's been the quality of
play has never been sufficient to hold interest. The power schools do provide a great infrastructure for such a concept.
However, there will always be a need for the NCAA in some capacity,
Even if I agreed before, I cannot now. This transgenderism issue is going to be the final straw.
I've long been of the opinion that you can have Title IX or the ADA, but you cannot have both. And, with what I see coming down the line (which see many of my political posts), I don't think you're going to have either!
We are under a year from seeing a major transgender college athlete murdered for being transgendered, either at their event or otherwise. And the fact is that an increasing amount of the country does not simply wish to outlaw MTF athletes, but to outlaw
transgenderism as a concept -- and a foothold to get the other letters banned as well.
You cannot have a national sanctioning body in which half the schools openly break Federal law.
I would, however, state that the NCAA could survive in a Republican America, if but only if the college education system survives and the liberal states (such as mine) subjugated, but that's another discussion.
in the same way that the NAIA and NJCAA exist; somebody has to be the "parent organization" for the rest of the schools/sports. Who would enforce the rules - the schools?
Many of these programs wouldn't -- and, IMODO, SHOULDN'T -- exist. The fact still remains that the NCAA has been a front for a lot of the travails of collegiate sport.
That entire Todd Hodne article you may have read from ESPN in the last 2 weeks? The NCAA did that.
The protection of Pedophile State -- the entire university, not just the football team? The NCAA, it's corporate sponsors, and it's broadcasting companies.
Rapelor, Michigan State, etc.? The NCAA did all of that, because it gave the backbone for all of that to occur.
The NCAA only survives in a men's only, no Title IX world.
Guess what? The NCAA **is** "the schools" in this respect. Why is there a limit of 25 freshmen/juco transfers at any time on an FBS football team? Because a majority of the FBS schools want it that way.
Because the FBS schools, and especially the P5, want to remain that way.
