Is D1 Split Coming Soon?
Honestly, I wouldn't mind having the G5 merge with FCS... I am sure FCS folks would differ though -

I'm Baaaaack
Also, please know that I am trying to incentivize greek life involvement in athletics. I am in charge of tailgating activities for Theta Chi, and I am advocating for implementing small fines for brothers that don't attend at least 50% of home football games. Similar policies are being brainstormed for basketball and even soccer.- 4

I'm Baaaaack
I know how much you all missed me 🤗 Just landed back in the states yesterday after spending six months living abroad in The Netherlands. It is good to be home and I widened my world view exponentially with my experiences. UNT made this all possible and I will forever be grateful. Anyways, seems like NIL has taken a turn for the worse while I was gone. I think it's late stage, unregulated capitalism that's fueling this madness (relax cowboys, I am a capitalist and hate planned economies.) However, corporate greed has overtaken what was at first a moral and acceptable idea of allowing college athletes to profit off their likeness. I am scared for the future of college athletics and I think smaller athletic budgets like UNT are in for a very difficult future. Regardless, the UNT community needs to centralize support more than ever if we are to have any chance at fighting this monster. I don't expect attendance numbers to change much this season, but I feel as if the best way for G5 to survive throughout these times is to unite in some way. Comprehensively, I envision a separate alliance/league made up of smaller athletic budget schools throughout the G5. I am curious to hear your thoughts. I know it's not ideal or even exciting, but I genuinely believe the only way forward is to distance ourselves from the corporate monsters that are the power 5 -

I felt a twinge of optimism yesterday
The ACC has a GoR through 2036 and enough members that want the league to survive that its not going to collapse in 12 years let alone 2. One of the main reasons the ACC expanded with three schools is to keep the league above the 15 minimum in order to maintain the existing deal with Disney/ESPN. You've also added three ironclad votes in favor of keeping the league together. The ACCN is a boon for ESPN with nearly 50m subs. They are heavily incentivized to see the ACC survive. Further, Notre Dame's independent status in football and ACC membership for all other sports is vital for them. ND was one of the biggest proponents of adding SMU/Stanford/CAL. In your doomsday scenario there are still going to be a handful of ACC schools with nowhere to go. SMU would likely band together with them and raid Oregon State, Washington State, Memphis, San Diego State, Tulane, and South Florida to make something out of the rubble. -

They have 2 years to work it out. Also if the ACC implodes where is the landing spot for SMU?
