Incentivize All-American

we are denied when we win.

Last year, we didn't win out. We can complain that we would've have been left out even if we'd won, but that feels really hollow, petty and whiney.

You really think if there was a 12 team playoff this year and we ran the table we would get left out?

It would help. But our real problem is that we will never be able to recruit

Yet we can recruit athletes in almost every other sport?

There is a big difference in where soccer and volleyball athletes come from

Sorry - there are many committed decent kids - they want P5 status.
