I think everything sticks together. March Madness provides a ton of revenue and March Madness gets eyeballs because schools you don't know exist (or can't pronounce) win. The other Olympic sports have some fun niches. I don't think anyone is leaving the NCAA.
100% been my thought throughout the entire existence of the idiotic “wait for the split” ideology. People been talking about a split for 15 years. G5 schools shouldnt be afraid to do what’s best for them too. P4 are already raping “amateur” athletics, pillaging all the money and leaving the G5 for dead. What else can the P4 do to them at this point?
Funny thing is, if there ever was a “split”, the current G5 would be more likely to pull up the drawbridge than ever before in an attempt to consolidate resources.
To your point, MM and even a lesser degree, the CFP, need mid majors to be able to think they’re included. Otherwise it’s just a D league. Frankly it already is so I don’t watch much P4.
Mountain West, hope for the best.
