The death of the NCAA is near.

The NCAA released a proposed governance model for the 5 Major Conferences. It allows the 5 conferences to create their own rules and make decisions collectively, provided they are voted on and accepted by the group.
 

Here's how the voting is proposed:

WHAT’S NEXT: The Division I Board of Directors will vote on the model Aug. 7. The five major conferences could vote on rule changes within that group as early as January 2015.
