Andy Katz: Would a big-boy breakaway affect NCAA tourney?

Unread post by ATPTourFan »

Andy Katz of ESPN writes today about what might happen to the NCAA Basketball Tournament if the Big Football conferences did separate themselves via a new SuperDivision.

A10 Commissioner McGlade and the new Big East commisionner, Val Ackerman, both spoke with Katz in this piece. Here is a sample of McGlade's comments:
Bernadette McGlade wrote:"So much of the NCAA's core fabric is the basketball championship,'' McGlade said. "A nationally relevant, basketball-centric league and the big five conferences can coexist together. We have to take the concerns of the BCS-level leagues seriously. We need to address them. We voted for the stipend. We are aligned philosophically.''
