Interesting news from the sham that is the NCAA Presidents retreat...(sham because Larry Scott, Jim Delaney and USC president Max Nikias weren't invited)

The NCAA could soon allow individual conferences to decide for themselves whether they want to pay athletes more and award them longer scholarship terms.

Window dressing.

With an already bloated and arcane rule book, I can't wait to see the rules governing this...
