In the grand scheme of things, it will all work out and not be that important. But right now, it just feels like it is killing college athletics. Part of the fun is saying 'my conference is better than your conference.' Before long, everyone is going to be in the same conference.

Eventually the football teams will pull away from the NCAA altogether. It will become a "league" of haves and thebottom 50 teams taht play D1 will fall back into D2.
The problem comes when the football schools do not equal the basketball schools from a even playing field/court. Let's use LSu as an example.
LSU football is a top notch competitor most years. Their basketball is horrible since Coach Dale Brown left. Does a top notch football team carry its basketball team into the break away group or does basketball stay as it is?
You could just as easily see the opposite. UK football most years is very bad. The basketball team competes at the highest levels - most years. Since football is so bad, would they be left out of break away group?
All this realignment crap is bad for the game. It leaves certain schools out but more than that, money takes precedence over rivalries. Louisville should Cinci every year, Duke should play UNC, etc... But as realignment takes place, those games may go by the wayside. That is not good for sports.
Regardless when it all plays out, the larger schools and competitive teams will be taken care of.

Institutions won't leave the NCAA unless there is a united front and an alternative. If an individual program were to leave, then they would almost have to disband because the NCAA would not allow their members to play the banished team. They stand to lose too much money by claiming independence as well.
