The NCAA’s Board of Directors officially moved the Pac-12 from an autonomy FBS conference to a nonautonomy FBS conference. (Those are legislative terms that match what we colloquially call Power 5/Group of 5.) This change is effective Aug. 2.

AAC commissioner Mike Aresco has said this before but in leaving CFP meetings here in Dallas, he emphasizes that college sports will need to move to a tiered collective bargaining model and that the SEC and Big Ten officials are discussing such possibilities.
