If they take all their sports with them and leave the NCAA entirely, I still feel like there is a place at the table for 2-3 solid basketball and other non revenue sport conferences to hang with the "power 5". BIG schools will want those non conference home dates for basketball and soccer still.
eeeerrrrr..... at least I hope I'm right about that

Here’s the problem. The NFL has tacitly admitted college football is their minor-league. Name, image, and likeness basically cement this. Adam silver hates college basketball. College basketball does not have the same kind of support professionally. Therefore, I think even though they will not admit it, your power fives will absolutely sacrifice college basketball a.k.a. the NCAA tournaments, if that means they control all aspects of eligibility for their football cash cows.
