With all due respect, many if not most fans believe this news to be insane, whereas the leaders of these universities and the involved media giants see this as a logical next step.

I think the media and university leaders see this as the real first step to two super conferences. BIG and SEC will fill out and essentially be the AFC and NFC. Maybe go back to divisions for some more geographic sensibilities, but they'll distance themselves from the rest of the schools, for football at least, and essentially become pro.
The rest of sports may go back to actually valuing education, as has been whispered about even Notre Dame.

Do a little research into the amount of student fees that subsidize most college athletic departments (i.e. outside probably the top 15 - 20 schools; the Ohio State, Texas and Alabama's of the world) and get back to us on your thoughts about the financial strength of college athletics, at least at the highest level for especially programs that field a football team.
