Throwing this out there based on the SEC announcement regarding leaving the NCAA.

Does anyone see/think that Michigan would just ignore any sanctions handed down by the NCAA and/or potentially take it to court, citing the fact that the NCAA has no standing?
It does currently and certainly did in 2021-2023.

I also think that post on X was from a parody account. Even if it was real it mentioned the start would be 2028. That’s a lot of time to ignore the governing body of the sport.

Michigan is a member of the NCAA- thus they signed a legal contract to obey NCAA rules and accept NCAA decisions/penalties.

College sposrts and the NCAA is a symbiotic relationship. Both need the other. Scary to note that the SEC is threatening to leave
the NCAA. NIL needs boundaries and no one school or conference should be the author of those rules.

Well they have shown that they aren’t cooperative so far. Wouldn’t be the first time a contract was broken or went to litigation, especially in current times.

I do see the NCAA going away in the not so distant future unless they can find a way to make themselves more relevant in the modern CFB era we have entered. They haven’t been useful in the NIL rules definitions.

The thought of the BIG and the SEC breaking away in the future is not so far fetched.

With Ono in charge, it would have been 100% We'll see now. Remember that their board has to actually consider what the t-shirts want and at least one of them was a grandstanding supporter of Ono and Harbaugh. So, the chance won't be zero.

“Oh you want us to come with you? I Don’t know…we’re pretty good over here with the NCAA. That is unless you had something to offer….”
Say the SEC does start to break away. But the Big Ten hesitates. Do any teams in the Big Ten leave to join the rebels, or is conference loyalty high enough that schools would rather stay in the Big Ten?

Without knowing details of it, I’d think conference tv revenue contracts are the tie that binds in that scenario.

No such thing as loyalty in my experience. It’s about power and self interest at the organizational level (individual level too for that matter)

There is no way the SEC would be dumb enough to go first alone like that.

It hands the gun to the B1G to put to the SEC’s head.

what would the SEC lose by moving away from the NCAA? how has the NCAA helped them, other than to try and institute rules to maintain fairness and parity. and it seems to me that fairness and parity aren't really what the SEC is all about, at least in the last 2 decades.
