Except that I don't believe going back to a G5 will help that whatsoever

The only realisitic path would be other teams going Indy.

Really, I'm not convinced we we're close, but I do think it was politics that

Texas' schedule would look a lot more like Notre Dame's in my opinion

The problem is in 10 years, they will have had 10 years of P5 revenue.

Basically stay Independent until we can't get a tv contract, then go Independence.

I think fan interest is basically fine. It would take more than losing 3 or 4
