I understand your reasoning. I just think that this may turn quickly into a haves versus have-not issue. Would Wake like to see UNC/Duke/Louisville have to make do with one or two fewer 3 or 4 stars? Sure. Can those schools better afford the extra schollys? Very likely. There won't be unilateral disarmament except as a last option. The changes will have to be at no lower than the conference level. Could this cause more realignment? I'd say at least minor shuffling will occur in the next few years.
Some are convinced that the Power V conferences will breakout and form their own football division, with the start of it being the athletes ability to make money based on their image and likeness. The question then becomes will these schools separate themselves for all sports which would kill the NCAA tournament.
