Indeed, college athletics as we have known it is dead. The fatal wound came this week with the announcement that the Catholic non-football schools were going to leave the Big East. That means that very soon (maybe within a couple of years) we will be down to five (and probably only four) super conferences. Those super conferences are not going to be dictated to by the NCAA, and so the NCAA as we know it will die. When it does, the NCAA tournament as we know it will also die.
Put the blame on greed, and a large part of it on ESPN for aiding and abetting that greed.
