I think the frustrating part to most fans right now, and I think this is actually even happening with the powers that be in College Football, is that there is no central guiding authority, in other words there is no leadership.
The NCAA with Marc Emmert has exhibited extremely weak leadership for as long as I can remember. They were basically in essence just a a weak observer with limited power for a very long time.
The actual power has been in the conferences, and now things are falling apart, and the conferences are exerting their authority, even the individual teams are exerting their authority and their power.
There is a form of barely controlled chaos going on in a sense. I actually think there’s possibly even some scrambling going on behind the scenes. I can imagine there are a lot of even frantic phone calls going on behind the scenes. There is going to be a shaking out. But eventually things will find their equilibrium.
Because at the end of the day college football must go on. Why? There is money to be made. The final product remains to be seen.
But as
@Dan E. Dangerously so aptly put it in his analogy, I just want to be sure that Miami has a chair when the musical chairs ends.
