When I think about option of separation, either voluntary or forced, I think of the FCS playoffs. Good football being played. Entertaining. Some good regional rivalries. But on a national landscape, no one really cares. It's an afterthought. It's football that the casual fan does not know is happening maybe until the championship game in Frisco at 2 pm because it's on a linear network.
Don't separate. Keep fighting. There are other ways to show the fat cats that you have value.
Also, why the hell is Dooley all the sudden so invested in this? What's he got to gain? What do any of these advocates have to gain aside from potential $?
Re: Well, Knew This Was Coming
I like the idea of a G5 playoff that gives the teams of these conferences something to play for. As it stands now, we get one spot that involves going to play AT #5 team and their refs in front of 80k hostile fans. Is that really a realistic opportunity for a championship? IMO, no.
I think the G5 could do it better and highlight REAL college football with a legitimate championship. I think it would be a hit and get good money for broadcasting rights.
Re: Well, Knew This Was Coming
Pro/Rel every non P4 conference by region.
I'm so freakin' sick of the private club snobbery of the rich boys. F 'em.
Earn it on the dang field.
Re: Well, Knew This Was Coming
What we need is a playoff of 16 teams with the 11 conference winners and 5 at large schools from the bigger conferences.
Thats what all the G5 conferences need to be pushing to the NCAA.
We have a fair system in every sport except for football. Why is that? We need to come together and push for this.
If you cant win your conference you shouldn’t be in the NC.
Re: Well, Knew This Was Coming
Guys, the separation has happened. It's over. Accept it and move on. UL will NEVER be one of the big players in college football. Might be for the best.
TBD
Re: Well, Knew This Was Coming
Join forces with FCS and create a three tier Premier League style championship league.
One league three pyramids.
Eventually the intrigue would rival anything the P5 comes up with.
In fact (eventually) I could see the P5 inviting top teams over and doing something similar

Hot damn, this is the very first thing I've ever agreed with you about.

Nor will the vast majority! It will be the P2 and the G7.
The SEC/B1G want nothing to do with Houston and Boston College. It actually might bring back some normalcy to College Football.
