   Division II schools didn't stop playing decades ago. It has nothing to do with   
   TV money, especially after the Supreme Court's decision that the NCAA cannot   
   control TV contracts    
   means that any guaranteed money Division II got out of it went out the window.    
      
   Inertia.  As the talent pool continues to dwindle and football becomes more   
   pay-for-play, what athletes are going to be left at the lower levels once this   
   truly manifests?   
      
   > (b) Having a system of lower-level teams, each one of which is tied to a   
   major league team, and allowing drafting out of high school will result in the   
   end of all scholarship-level collegiate play in that sport? Gee, I guess I'll   
   go tell pretty much    
   every Division I baseball program in the country - all 306 of them - that they   
   should have went out of business decades ago.   
      
   If baseball still had the mantle of America's Pastime when The National   
   Religion Of Football took over, I might believe that.
