than just the power conferences, DI-FBS/DI-FCS in football, or DI. Remember there are 358 DI members, 302 DII members, and 435 DIII members. The power conferences could go off and do their own thing while the remaining 293 DI members, 302 DII members, and 435 DIII members continue to remain in the NCAA as if nothing happened. Even if the 1,095 members (with the power conference schools) or 1,030 members (without the power conference schools) decide to rebrand the "NCAA" under another name, it will still be the NCAA in terms of structure and functionality.

Remember on December 28, 1905 62 schools got together in New York to form the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS) which was later rebranded to the NCAA in 1910. My point is that an association will always exist in some form to oversee intercollegiate athletic competitions. It doesn't matter whether it is sport specific (i.e. Rowing Association of American Colleges which existed from 1870 to 1894 and later rebranded to the Intercollegiate Rowing Association which still exists today) or governs multiple sports (i.e. NCAA, NAIA, etc.). The schools will vote to establish some sort of organization to oversee the sport(s) and manage the day to day operations. It is no different than what we currently see in the pro leagues (i.e. CFL, NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS, EPL, Super Rugby, Pro 14, FIBA, FIFA, EuroLeague, etc.).

So yes, the non-revenue sports could be in jeopardy depending on what issues come to the floor for a vote and how the current NCAA members vote on those issues. It is these types of issues/concerns which could influence the schools to not vote on making as radical changes as some fans think will happen. Likewise, fans may see some schools vote in ways they didn't expect because the schools realize the issues are more than just about football. Most fans only look at the issue from football's point of view because that is the sport they only care about and sometimes men's basketball. They forget to look at the big picture, which includes all the non-revenue sports, because those sports don't interest them. However, the schools care about the non-revenue sports because of how much time and money they have already invested in them.
