There was a big push to leave the NCAA due to the the belief among this group at the time the DII and DII teams were holding the bigger schools back and the bigger schools couldn't maximize revenue. The idea of using the CFA as the governing body and setting up their own association with its own rules and revenue sharing was proposed. ND and the Big ten schools balked in order to explore setting up their own TV deals and the CFA fell apart in 1997.
