Here IT comes

It could end up opening Pandora's Box, but I'll stick to what I know will happen instead of the multiple disasters that could occur.

Money under the table will continue, and even expand.

The schools with the greatest number of wealthy alumni and friends with grow stronger, expanding the gulf between the haves and the have nots.

This will only benefit the player who was not as sought after as the 4 and 5 star recruit.

It's been precisely this way for 75 years.

Eta: since the power is being shifted from the NCAA to the conferences, the NCAA can't decide who to investigate or not investigate based on political stature as they have for so many years.

Now, the conferences can operate in their own self interests (which is no one goes on probation) and sweep it all under the rug. It ain't morally correct and all but thats how it is and Slive has proven it to be a good model for the overall health of a conference. The numbers don't lie.

Power in the exclusive hands of Slive?

So we report to Slive instead of directly to the NCAA like we did during the Cam Newton fiasco. That worked out well didn't it.

Sure the wealth has grown under Slive, but it's the extreme passion of the SEC football fan that has made the conference top notch. I haven't forgotten that Slive came from CUSA. How far did he take them anyway?

Slive didn't decide where the player went to school. I'm not saying it was fair but college football recruiting never will be and it's preferable to having half the conference on probation which is bad for everybody, even the schools not on probation.

And power in the hands of the individual commissioners of each conference is preferable to the behemoth/schizophrenic NCAA.

I don't think that was Slive's fault (totally). It was mishandled terribly by the university. I think they tried to not piss off Auburn, the SEC, or the NCAA and ended up pissing off all three. Then, in my opinion, they fell on a sword a couple of years later to "apologize."

So how does increasing universities costs increase the number of athletes getting paid under the table? This is going to increase how much it costs to operate at the newest high level division. If anything it will decrease the players being bought since the people giving money will have to give more to the athletic departments.
