1. Power Conference Seeking More Control Over NCAA Championships, Governance

by Ross Dellenger, Yahoo! Sports

“A proposal from the power conferences stands to potentially remake the NCAA governance and championship structure, shifting more authority to the power leagues over rule-making, policy decisions and, even, postseason events.

The proposal, a collaboration of the four power leagues, would grant the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC rights to manage postseason championships, such as the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, assuming control over events that have long been operated by the national association.

The proposal is described only as a “working document” and is not a complete or approved product.”
