Because there's a proven path to the top for non-BCS schools in the NCAA.
Boise State has done it in football.
Butler has done it in basketball.
The Zips have done it in soccer.
How does the path to the top for non-BCS midmajors compare in your hypothetical system?
If the ncaa went away tomorrow, within five years, a better organization could be established where teams can more fairly compete.
I couldn't agree more with your take, with exception to the above sentence. How/where will there ever be an organization that cares enough about the mid-majors to make it a fair system in football. I just don't see it.
We will not be able to complete for the athletes the bcs schools get and money will always be a problem...What could the "new" organization do?
ESPN and the TV contracts will dictate that 99% of the funds will go to bcs schools. In order to make a few bucks, we will be stuck playing teams like the Red and Silver and get about 3% of what they make on the game...Who is going to change this?
Like others, I see a 4 conference/16 team league forming and we will be stuck on the outside...again...
