Beware of the Power of 65 (77)or what you ask for

[Water Pony]

I caution those on this board who are anxious to start the realignment process. With most of you, I want us to move up and create that regional model which helps create the self-sustaning rivalries and controls costs in a better conference model in or out of the WAC or Conf. USA.

But as this article outlines, the BCS conferences (5 or 6 x 12 + ND) may reempt the everyone's scenarios by not just controlling the agenda, but determining who is in and who is Div 1AA. The NCAA's (it's CEO Brandt and Presidents)lack of leadership is amazing given what is at stake for all schools and student athletes.

Read this warning and hope somebody can show leadership for a win/win:
