0 min read

ESPN: A majority of Power 5 athletic leaders who participated in a recent survey were “very or somewhat likely” to support the creation of a fourth division within the NCAA for the Power 5 conferences to compete in sports other than basketball, according to data released Tuesday by the Knight Commission for Intercollegiate Athletics.

The 15-minute online survey revealed a willingness by athletic administrators to consider reforms that would radically restructure Division I’s most competitive levels, including separating FBS football from the NCAA, but almost 80% of participants indicated it is “essential” to keep all current Division I schools in the same men’s basketball tournament.
