Why does the NCAA allow conferences to sign seperate

deals with TV?
This will ruin the sport by creating an uncompetitive environment.
If you have some teams making 20-25M from TV while others make significantly less, you'll ruin the level of competition across conferences.

Because of this:
The era ended June 27, 1984, when the U.S. Supreme Court, affirming lower-court decisions in an antitrust lawsuit filed almost three years earlier by the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents and the University of Georgia Athletic Board, effectively stripped the NCAA of authority over football TV contracts. The ruling allowed each school or conference to cut its own deal.

ESPN is basically calling all of the shots. That ($$$) is the driving force behind the CU/FSU to Big XII rumors.

You can blame UGA, Oklahoma and ND for that one.***

Free market capatalism is the path to prosperity. We are not a socialist country. You know what they say about the "fittest".

Free market does not apply here.

ESPN has a defacto lock on sports programming. There is no free market.
Its like the zoo keeper (ESPN) decides who to feed and who not to feed. If the 300lb gorilla is starved, it will die... if the 20lb monkey is fed, it will eventually be able to whip the weakened gorilla.
A very bad argument on your part.

except for nbc and fox. but instead of negotiating with a couple of channels backed up by big buck corporations who desperately want to get the programming to compete with espn, we just automatically sign up with espn and give them the rights to everything that swofford hasn't already promised to his son without even leveraging those big corporations to drive up the price.

If money was the driving factor for a student athlete to perform and a universities primary goal was football and not providing an education then capitalism would be the correct way to run an athletic program and the NCAA could go screw itself.
Unfortunately that's not the case

because allowing the NCAA to control the market is an unreasonable restraint of trade.

I think you get to a certain point where it doesn't matter -

there are other things in play with how you can/can't spend the $ and many universities will be making bigger $ grabs from their Athletic departments
diminishing returns are at play at some point--- I think all the BCS conferences are beyond that and some other schools in smaller conferences. Heck Pickens probably gives more to OSU each year than their TV Revenue. There are plently of schools with that capability and have been for years-- how many championships has Texas won in the last 30 years-- how about A&M, OSU, where is ND now?
