#8: Big West Commissioner Dan Butterly comments on the new governance model proposed by the NCAA last week and explains: “The CCA-22 commissioners were presented with the draft model on Monday afternoon, but were told not to share the model outside of the presentation. If adopted as presented, it will hand unchecked control of the Division I governance process to four conferences: the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12. These leagues would gain a 65% weighted voting bloc on NCAA committees—an insurmountable majority that effectively silences the voices of the rest of Division I, including conferences like The Big West. In short: a structure in which a few decide for all. This is not shared governance. This is consolidation of power by the very conferences, institutions and leadership that helped drive the NCAA into its current legal and financial crisis. And now, they seek to rewrite the rules to insulate themselves from accountability, while expecting others to share the financial burden of settlement costs from cases like House v. NCAA. Let’s be bold and honest: the only thing holding Division I together right now is a legal settlement. NCAA President Charlie Baker has said as much—that if the A4 conferences walk away, they alone would be responsible for the full financial cost of the House settlement. Rather than risk that, this proposal looks like an effort to force out those of us who still believe in education, access, parity, and opportunity for student-athletes across all institutions—not just the richest ones. And once governance is centralized, what’s to stop them from restricting national championship access? From changing scholarship rules in ways that disadvantage mid-majors? … Absolutely nothing. This isn’t bold leadership. It’s power consolidation masquerading as progress. The Big West will not stand by silently. … In the weeks ahead, The Big West will work with our peer conferences to demand a better model—one that respects the diversity of Division I and honors the values of equity, education, and competition.” More from Butterly.
