The Power Four conferences recently submitted a proposal, as first reported by Yahoo Sports, that would allow for them to take greater control over rules, proposals and even, potentially, national championships. It is unclear if it will garner enough support to be approved with Baker saying, "We get a bunch of submissions from all kinds of people that we asked for .. that's one of the ones that got submitted.

One thing that proposal makes clear, however, is that the NCAA's governance structure will continue to be a hot topic as powerful leaders look to wrest more control away from their smaller counterparts.

"I think that there's a lot of agreement that we've got to restructure how we do decision making in Division I," said Baylor president Linda Livingstone, who serves as the chair of the powerful NCAA Board of Governors. "Even though the autonomy conference already has some level of autonomy, that there's probably another iteration of that, given that we're going to have a set of schools, particularly those in the autonomy conferences, that are really investing more resources at a very significant level.

"And that because of that there are going to be some decisions they want to make that might be unique to that set of schools that are participating in that level."
