McNeese State President Claims Grid Powers Seek Cable Control
McNeese State University President Jack Doland denounces moves to shrink Division I-A as subterfuge aimed at giving major football powers leverage over cable television rights. He argues proposals would drop 40 plus members from Division I-A and would not affect smaller leagues like the Southland Conference. Doland spoke at the NCAA Convention urging opposition to reorganization that favors TV deals over parity.

TV rights shift motives in 1977 college football plans
Doland criticizes moves toward Division I-A reorganization as aimed at cable TV control. He argues conferences have not harmed others and credits CFA tensions with shaping access to TV deals. He envisions regional dominance by schools like Penn State Michigan Ohio State Notre Dame Nebraska and Texas, with Alabama Georgia USC and LSU in the mix if deals bypass restrictions. He cites NCAA pact conflicts and ongoing court cases over TV property.
