This is true.I don't think it will happen. The power 5 conferences would then have to create their own governing body to regulate themselves against cheating and that they all agreed with and I don't think any of them will see it as worth the trouble.
And risk everyone pulling out of the NCAA and then disagreeing and getting stuck in limbo.This is true.
For the power 5 to split they’d have to split and agree to the same set of rules. Then set up a bureaucracy to enforce the rules.
to do this...initially it’d need to be title 9 complaint and nearly unanimous in support from power 5 schools.
far more likely they keep the NCAA they’re already in charge of and the NCAA changes policy to match the wants and needs of its members.
to change the NCAA rules would essentially only require a majority. to get People to leave and start a new thing would require almost unanimity initially from the institutions that join.
Maybe on paper but it's all the same organization. The athletic department is a part of the University of Minnesota.Subsidizing public universities is done to keep tuition down for all students.
Paying players comes from athletic revenue, which is separate from general university revenue.
The only people who will be suggesting that paying players should result in the end of subsidies, are simply those who are looking for any reason to end public higher education in general.
And the Vikings don't own that stadium. It's owned by a commission appointed by the governor and Minneapolis mayor. It also brought the Super Bowl and the Vikings aren't getting hundreds of millions of dollars per year from the taxpayers.Taxpayers paid for the Vikings new stadium, a fully professional team that has also greatly benefited from other subsidies (infrastructure, deals for new practice facility, etc.).
Again, if we want to have public higher education where students in the state can get a world class education for a fraction of the cost of private schools, then we'll keep subsidizing tuition.
I don't see any reason in the slightest for why you feel this way. I don't think it would be like that at all.And the Vikings don't own that stadium.

It wouldn't come to the state pulling funding but it would strain the relationship and there would likely be changes to keep the funding. At the very least the state probably wouldn't fund anything for the U that doesn't directly tie to education ever again.
The U is fighting for funding as it is. Last year they got about $45 million less than they asked for. This year they'll probably get even less than that. Even if it's not directly pulling funding, anything that strains the relationship is going to make that extra money harder to get.
I'm not sure why you can't see the difference between US Bank Stadium/Target Field and TCF Bank Stadium.I don't see any reason in the slightest for why you feel this way. I don't think it would be like that at all.
