So what will be the effect on when, or if, the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma leave the Big 12 Conference for the greener pastures of the Southeastern Conference (SEC)?
Who better to ask than former LIU director Jerry Donner?
“Texas and Oklahoma move on to the SEC and shape a Monstrous Conference,” he said, “the Big 12 split and the result is 4 wonderful conferences. “
Donner believes those super meetings will separate from the NCA and shape his own legislative framework, adding, “Athletes will be paid in revenue-generating sports under Title IX.
“And all sports that do not generate income will be abandoned and returned to the government of the institution, which will necessarily conform to club sports,” he said.
“The entire Division I and the middle and lower primary meetings will be left in limbo,” Donner said.
