Yes

and if the NCAA cannot get fair rules implemented prior to this summer when the states' rules go into effect, it will speed it up even more.

There is so much money already there; by having the very top teams split, they can retain an even larger piece of the pie. The question really becomes how many teams split away; there are 64 or so Power 5 teams, but not all of those are really true "equity partners" with schools like Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas, etc. I would look especially at the Pac 12, as they really lag behind even conferences like the Big 10 as it relates to coach pay, etc.

Definitely something to keep an eye on.
