Commentary: Amid the Pac-12 ruins, one big question emerges — why does the NCAA still exist?

LA Times  

Dejected Oregon State fans look on during a loss to TCU in September 2010. Oregon State is one of two Pac-12 schools that haven’t announced plans to leave the conference after this season. Oregon State is pretty good, and if it stayed that way next season, when the Big Ten has gobbled up its usual opponents, and beats Washington State 11 times, the Beavers would have to be in the College Football Assn.’s playoffs with all the big guys. Now, Bush wants his Heisman Trophy back, and you don’t read much about the NCAA pushing the Heisman Trophy people to do so, even though many college football players today — through the new NIL rules accepted by the NCAA — make multiple times whatever Bush got from that booster. They were Pete Carroll meeting Jim Harbaugh near the 50-yard line after Harbaugh’s Stanford had beaten Carroll’s Trojans, 55-24, and Harbaugh had gone for two points near the end of the game.
