2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

I think ESPN and Fox will both go with the latter. They have massive financial interests in college football. And if the NCAA didn't exist, it would make their job easier. Especially if the SEC and Big Ten left the NCAA behind. ESPN and Fox would weasel their way into whatever entity would be created in it's wake.
I'd think twice before having the media moguls be the arbiters of college football. The NCAA or something like it is essential because the colleges don't/won't/couldn't/can't rule themselves. Few things illustrate this better than the history of college sports prior to 1906 - the Ivy Leaguers and Michigan knew they'd created a monstor they couldn't control. Well, not so much Michigan. It took the Western Conference to break their determination to be players and referees.
