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

I can only see it changing in BYUs favor in very few ways.

The only realisitic path would be other teams going Indy.

I agree with all that, except Texas going independent; no one's doing that again

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.
