The dilemma that may face me

The SEC has served notice that they are going to push the issue basically to force the NCAA to let them do anything they want to do, or else they are going to take their ball and go home, and form their own governing structure ("Division 4"). Naturally, it is a play for more money, as it always is. Since this is all about football, if the NCAA survives, the NCAA tournament might also survive. However, there is at least a good chance that the entire structure of college athletics as we know it may come crashing down. If that happens, UALR would no longer be in the highest division of college basketball. At that point, I am faced with the decision of whether or not I want to closely follow and support a program at a distance that is no longer in the highest division of basketball. I can do the same with UAFS here close at hand and save a lot of money and go to a lot more games.
