Let me put it this way. After a the loss of a perfect season due to a loss

That is true of virtually every P5 team. When they lose, they know they aren’t

As a fan of a P5 team, that’s untrue. With 1 or even 2 losses, your team can

This phrase literally means nothing. I defy anyone to provide a legitimate, meaningful definition

What exactly isn’t sustainable about independence?

If you think independence is unsustainable wait until it look at G5 financials

Correct. The finances make it obvious.
