Giving the power conferences more autonomy in a restructured NCAA could help address the ''existential threats'' that plague college sports at their highest level, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said. The five conferences - the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and ACC - don't want to leave the NCAA or even form their own division, Delany said Thursday. ''We're not talking about pay for play,'' Delany said, speaking at the Big Ten's basketball media day. ''We have to be able to do what we need to do in order to address those issues, and we need the authority to do it.'' The NCAA has been battered by a series of scandals over the last year, most centering around money.
