CTCard, the article did not single out any sport specifically.  But Swarbrick's comments do seem to be inspired by the situation in college football.  Still, the NCAA currently governs ALL sports.  Could a new "semi-pro" association exist if it only covered football?  Would it govern all sports? 

I'll be curious to see where the pressure comes from that might lead to change in the current NCAA structure.  Will it come from the schools themselves? From the courts?

I do plan to talk to Muir about this at the Coach's Reception in LA on April 23.  Would like his take on the likelihood of change in the next few years and what that might mean for Stanford.
