They've been relegated for decadesI notice he separates Power 5 from G5...into separate championships....he relegates the G5s
Every team still need G5s for easy wins. If they don't offer home and home, they still have to pay for body bag games.I notice he separates Power 5 from G5...into separate championships....he relegates the G5s
For me it's more about what he said about football should do their own thing instead of ruining all of college sports. It's a totally different deal, they play once a week and the way it is now with all these schools having to constantly send their other teams all over the country is terrible for all these athletes and not really sustainable. It ruins women's sports/non-revenue sports.Agreed that all-sports conferences are not going to be around much longer. Disagree that they should take only the top 64 FBS programs. Maybe the Sun Belt and the MAC get axed, but there are too many quality football programs across the MW, AAC, and Conference USA to draw the line that low. I think the right number of FBS programs is closer to 100, and UConn's probably right on the bubble.

It’s not sustainable. It makes sense for football to split off. It will be interesting to see if we do go back to regional 10 school conferences. It would be great to cut travel and restore some local rivalries. I can even see the schools making a carbon footprint case for doing this. Now the football driven money is too great.People just want a home for UConn football and they're scared for UConn basketball.
I don't see all the doomsday basketball scenarios playing out that people have cooked up in their heads but it does suck for UConn football. I really think they could do quite well in the Big 12 under Mora if given a chance.
I don't really see how any of this stuff is sustainable for college athletics or for TV networks long term.
This was my exact thought. If you are picking 64 teams, it's crap to just say that these 64 got lucky for being in the right place at the right time. Never won anything Rutgers? No worries here's your seat because you're in the B1G. Also completely inept BC? Here you go! Syracuse has a spot right next to you.Yea this is garbage. It’s still arbitrarily drawing a line in the sand based on legacy - Rutgers gets to play for a “real” title but Boise St doesn’t?
