Can the NCAA dictate the size of conferences?

if nothing further happens CAN the NCAA put a size limit on conferences--for the good of the game (and i don't mean the TV game): objective--to keep conferences reasonably regional, cut down on travel expenses--fans and teams, preserve traditional rivalries, keep the lesser conferences from being completely swamped/dominated/raided by power conferences?
I sure hope so and that they do. I think the prospects of superconferences only raises the ante of what the fan will have to pay and I don't like what that looks like at the end of the road. just me.

I was wondering about this last week. But my understanding is that schools are members of the NCAA, not the conferences. If that's the case, then the NCAA has no power over conference size. Also, if the schools control the NCAA, then it's only authority is derived from the schools. If they give the NCAA power, then it has the power. With the big money grab going on right now, I don't think I'm out on a limb saying that the schools are not going to give the NCAA any power to do anything that would cut into their revenues.
