There will even be the renewal of some old but not as long standing feuds, and maybe some new ones when BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati and Houston begin Big 12 play within the next two to three seasons.

Emmert: NCAA committed to prohibiting athletes from gambling

The exterior view of Capital One Arena is seen, Saturday, March 16, 2019, in Washington.  As NCAA prepares to stage its first basketball championships since the Supreme Court allowed legal sports betting in any state that wants it, the organization remains opposed to gambling on its events. But it’s not denying reality, either.  This year, at least one and likely two women’s games will be played in Mississippi, where people have been betting on college sports since last summer, and men’s games will be played in Washington at Capital One Arena, which could have a full-service onsite sports book this time next year. Future NCAA Tournament games are scheduled for Wells Fargo Center, an 11-mile drive from the sports book at Harrah’s Philadelphia.  (AP Photo/Nick Wass)(AP Photo/Nick Wass)
