This is a great point.
Right now, only 2 sports can drive large-scale D1 athletic decisions and soccer is not one of them.
College soccer will go away like Wikipedia will if I don’t give them $3.
Serious question, why would DI college soccer collapse because of this vote being rescinded? #collegesoccer
88-84 in a football game… I know the offensive players are going to remember this game forever.
Gulf South football is officially no more. Not sure it's a surprise at this point. GSC went from 9 members to none in 3 years.
Delta State football forced from Gulf South Conference, seeks other options

My initial reaction was that this is a catastrophe for D3, but this doesn't seem like a big deal if it actually led to a judgment (monetary payout aside)?
I mean, instead of everything being "academic scholarships", it would become "athletic scholarships" for any athletes.
No one wants my thoughts from the 50-minute @NAIA Town Hall on the eligibility proposal, but here they are:
- NAIA is not rolling this out haphazardly; it's smartly using a long runway, unlike the NCAA. It's obvious they let the NCAA be the proverbial punching bag. (1/x)
I don't really like the 4-year model limitation. Just give everyone 5 years to keep it simple. I see the argument against it, but it almost invites legal challenges, specifically from the idea of a hypothetical D3->D2->NAIA transfer. (4/x)
NEC on disintegration watch? I know they love the NE10 members to backfill, but there aren't many more to pluck, especially with a 6x application fee increase.
Potential changes could be coming that would make reclassifying to DI from DII a *lot* more expensive

It's an interesting theory. The NFL probably would love to have a game every day of the week. Unfortunately, that would mean it's no different from the MLB, NBA, or NHL with games on constantly. It would also probably add a 25th subscription service nobody asked for.
The Metro sponsors all Le Moyne varsity teams except women's bowling.
Good thing I haven’t started on the Northeast realignment article bouncing around my head. This was going to be part of it as it will likely cause more moves.
They’ll definitely put quick time events behind a paywall. That uppercut KO is gonna cost you $4.99 plus tax.
In a landmark moment, the NCAA is suing a sitting state governor, Ohio’s Mike DeWine, over his executive order on eligibility. NCAA calls the EO a “misguided attempt” to give Ohio colleges a “hall pass to break rules,” per docs obtained by @YahooSports.

People really thought the College Football Playoff wouldn't go to 24 at some point?
That's been a guaranteed LOCK since it went from 4 to 12. They won't leave that kind of money on the table in the next TV deal.
