A proposal from the power conferences, including the Southeastern Conference (SEC), Big Ten, Big 12, and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), aims to overhaul NCAA governance and gain control over postseason championships. According to documents obtained by Yahoo Sports, these conferences are seeking to expand their authority to manage NCAA postseason events, which have traditionally been overseen by the NCAA. This proposal is still in progress, with discussions ongoing about the implications of such a shift. Critics argue that the NCAA has effectively managed national championships and that transferring control to the power conferences could jeopardize iconic events like March Madness.
