[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 2767740, member: 3528"] Not sure I agree with this. USC and Stanford (and in the above scenario, Oregon, etc) are still national brands that draw big interest because of who they are, not because they are in the NCAA. Theyd probably still fill their stadiums, provided the product on the field stays at the current level. That said, there's a really big chunk missing from the "they will leave the NCAA and start their own pro league" thesis, and that's television contracts. I'm not sure how exclusive those networks are with the NCAA (probably not very since they all air the NFL), BUT as I understand it, it is still illegal to air professional football within X number of miles (I want to say 100?) where a high school / college game is playing. This is any the NFL doesn't air games on Saturdays until January, after the college football season is over. So what are they going to do? Play on Sundays and go head to head with the NFL? Move to spring ball? Neither seems very wise. [/QUOTE]
