    DI basketball = DI scholarship football?

    What if the NCAA simply put its foot down and said "if you want to stay in DI basketball and have an NCAA football team, we are going to force you to have DI scholarship football or end your football program"?


    I have a hard time believing Dayton, etc. wouldn't pony up for 30-40 scholarships.

    That would be the stupidest thing that the NCAA could/would ever do. What about private schools that can't field a football team b/c of lack of numbers of athletes. You can't ask athletic departments to eat the cost and Title IX drama that goes with scholarship football.

    What about the logical use of the word "and" don't you understand?

    I missed the "and" sorry. But still, that would be dumb. The PFL, Ivy League, and in the future, the A-Sun could suffer if your idea was in place.

    How about the 100 or so NCAA D-I schools that have no football at all and havent for decades? You would have to include them as well. Seton Hall, Marquette, Providence, DePaul, Gonzaga and others would no longer be able to play D-I basketball.

    All they have to do is drop out of DI basketball and they can do whatever they want with their football teams.
