Power Four Proposal Seeks Control of NCAA Championships, Revenue

College sports is on the brink of a seismic shift, and the latest working document circulating among the Power Four conferences are looking to redefine the governance of NCAA championships.

The proposal, obtained by Yahoo Sports Ross Dellenger, outlines a vision for the most powerful leagues to take control of postseason events, including the lucrative men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. While the document is still in its early stages, its implications are profound, signaling a bid for greater autonomy as the future of college athletics hangs in the balance.

Under this proposal, the power conferences would gain the authority to manage postseason championships, currently under the NCAA’s purview. This includes control over tournament formats, revenue distribution, and the selection committee process.
