If that happens, Texas and OU go to the B1G, SEC, or PAC, and the rest fall away

My guess is that the P5 wants to become the P4 more than it wants to be the P6

Not a lawyer. But I can tell you that there has be real evidence of exclusion

The advantage to being a "Power" conference is money from TV contracts.

Actually, "Power 5" refers to the 5 conferences with automatic bids to the NY6,

A better solution would be to eliminate the power status all together. And

What? A playoff? That's too complicated for D1.
TailgateU
10/19/17 12:52pm
I know. There are too many teams. G5 teams would end up in the same spot.
Turd Furguson
10/19/17 1:00pm
There are 130 FBS teams and 124 FCS teams. How does FCS figure it out?

yeah, maybe you move to a bigger playoff. Kind of like ncaa basketball.

BYU has a standing offer to join any time they want.

The P5 does not care about the AAC success. It is all about the $$$.

Not going to happen. P5 schools have no reason to expand playoffs/bowl access.
