Can the NCAA dictate the size of conferences?
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.

If you took a poll right now, i'd bet you more schools would vote to expand NCAA power and include regulating the size of conferences than not. think of all the angst nation wide over the last few days vs. those that clearly stood to gain. one school is one vote.

The NCAA does dictate a minimum size to conference, specifying that a conference has to have 6 members with a history of playing each other in order to be recognized as such.
I don't think they have any rules on the book for a maximum size. If they did, the Big East would have run into them by now with 18 members in all sports but football.
