John Feinstein files this from his ACC/Patriot League bubble, saying it's time to disband the NCAA.
A good premise, but he loses me in two areas.
This paragraph: "The NCAA accelerated its path toward irrelevance years ago, when Emmert's predecessors, Cedric Dempsey and Myles Brand, ceded control of football to conference commissioners - wanting no blame for the cartel that was the Bowl Championship Series when it was created 15 years ago. That abdication of ownership is a major reason why conference realignment has been allowed to burn out of control like a wildfire."
Well, not exactly. He's ignoring the Supreme Court ruling that stripped the NCAA of its control of college football TV. That's where the wildfire started and there was no "abdication of ownership."
Second, King John's solution is ACC-centric. He's carrying coach K's water suggesting 3 college commissioners are needed. If Bill Self or Nick Saban suggested a similar idea, I doubt Feinstein would be an advocate.
Go back to writing books, John.
