Battle for BorderCalling it now….the Inaugural game of the new league will be UT vs VA in Neyland. No ESPN. I’ll let @Cosmo Kramer provide a name for this game.

Nah. If they try to level anything, we just say eff off. They're toothless now. How are they gonna enforce it? They can't. The only power they have is the power we give them. The only reason we accepted the previous punishment is we knew rules were broken and it got us out of Pruitt's contract scott free.We are literally fighting for our lives now; that's not hyperbole. If they win, and are allowed to hit us with a LOIC...while I don't believe they'll death penalty anyone else ever again, the sanctions that will be levied against us will cripple us for a decade or longer. Loss of more scholarships, bowl bans, and ineligibility from playoff. No one will want to play for us. We will be screwed.
As you said, it is us or them.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if somebody ever just said: “no”?We are literally fighting for our lives now; that's not hyperbole. If they win, and are allowed to hit us with a LOIC...while I don't believe they'll death penalty anyone else ever again, the sanctions that will be levied against us will cripple us for a decade or longer.

OK. So what's the problem?The schools would have to get a collective bargaining agreement..there is NO way to have or enforce any rules with out one.
The issue then becomes...the players have to unionize so a CBA can be hashed out.
You wanted it to be professional..well this is what being a professional is...you have to give something to get something.

I have wondered that before, what it would look like...saying, no. What do y'all think? Can they actually prohibit us from giving max amount of scholarships? I guess it's a serious question. If the NCAA said, "you're only allowed 70, 75 scholarships", and a university said, "Yeah, I don't think so...we're giving 85"...what happens?Have you ever wondered what would happen if somebody ever just said: “no”?
lol. NCAA isn’t going to do anything to us.We are literally fighting for our lives now; that's not hyperbole.
