And Fact one is about a conference of teams.

We are talking about money here which is code for power.

And P5 aren’t going to just roll over and take half of the money they currently get to allow even the best G5 conference to join their party. And G5 conferences are happy with the scraps they get and the 1 NY6 spot they get every year.

Past history was never so clearly divided by haves and have nots. In the past you were at least partly judged on your product. Now you are judged on your affiliation. More than ever.

See UCF. Oh aren’t they a cute G5 team doing their best. What a sweet story of 2 undefeated seasons. (Pat on the head and then walk away). They will always be G5 because that’s what they are now. BYU has never been considered a true champion by many. ESPNs recent story on it even focuses on the hapless system that allowed an obvious imposter to sit briefly on their throne 35 years ago.
