Yes good to see.  They have no leverage but at least they can discuss ways to work together for the common good.

This statement pants a very dark picture for us and the rest of G5:

 

The G5 has been weakened by realignment and the modernization of compensation rules. Over the last several years, many of the division’s top-resourced schools elevated to the power leagues, and the infusion of NIL money, as well as the implementation of free transfers, has further widened a gap between the power leagues and G5 that was already quite wide.

Around the corner is likely another gap-widening concept: athlete revenue sharing.

I would love to see the G5s form an alliance and then hire Aresco to be the commissioner. Have a minimum amount that a P4 must pay to host a G5 if there is no guaranteed return game at the G5. The problem is that you will have many schools who will cower to the Power schools because they depend on their preseason games to cover their budgets (think MAC). You will also have other schools who continue to do anything the P4s want because they hope to move up (Memphis and USF come to mind).

The easiest prediction in the world....is that the G5 rep in the playoff.....will eventually be eliminated. You had asshats like Paul Finebaum and Herbstreit......raising Hell...because Liberty took a spot last year in the NY6 game.

The only “alliance” the G5’s have is they all want to be in a power conference.  Thus, few will throw rocks at the big kids. 

The decisions being made by the P4’s are revenue-based.   How to get their schools and conferences more $$.   That includes more playoff access, more media, more corporate sponsors (conference naming rights?).

"This year, by many projections, Nevarez’s league returns the most capable teams to challenge for that spot: Boise State, Air Force and UNLV. But there are plenty more, of course: Memphis and UTSA in the AAC; Liberty and Jacksonville State in Conference USA; Toledo and Miami (Ohio) in the MAC; and App State and Texas State in the Sun Belt."

Just going to leave this here....it's mind-boggling the opportunities we've squandered through the years.  It's definitely one of our core competencies.

P4's are already informing schools that any open OOC will be against other P4's.  In the next 5-7 years there won't be any G5 v P4 games at all.

The problem with that is other P4s won’t schedule an away-only game like G5s do.  Thus, no more 7 home games like they all want.

Better get used to that in UP

I certainly hope so. Move on. Go away. Let us have a champion of our own level.

And remember that when the dust settles, those that get left behind have to follow the same rules...

That begs the question, "What teams will be in the P4's or P3's in 5 to 7 years?". 

Do you think the Wake Forests of the world (just one example) will make the final cut?

Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, $mut, Northwestern, etc will be the first programs relegated out.
