not the worst idea ive ever heard..... I am a little wary of the source though, I would hope all networks would have a fair and equal opportunity to bid for it.

Separation continues...

Trash.

To me it puts up a glass ceiling between mid-majors and high majors.

If we don't aspire to become a P5 school, we shouldn't be in the FBS.

Relegated to the NIT before the first snap of the season? Not no but hell no. You can wipe your behind with that garbage.

Champion of WHAT, exactly?

[CajunNation]

No. Just no.

What the P5 schools needs to be pushing right now is an 8 team playoff that consists of the champions of the P5 conferences, 2 at large schools, and the highest ranked G5 school.

It's not my preferred playoff, but it is doable. There are already a growing number of voices pushing an 8 team playoff. We need to jump on that bandwagon and make sure they save a seat for us.

I would be in favor of a P5 Playoff on one bracket and a G5 Playoff in another bracket, with the two champions meeting to decide the National Championship. Similar to NFC and AFC. I don't see why this would be not at least considered.

I'd envision 6 teams in each bracket. The 5 P5 Conference champions and 1 at-large. The 5 G5 Champs and 1 at-large.

This would be a fair and really exciting Playoff.

We play for a New Orleans bowl berth with a 1 in 68 (G5 schools) chance of making it into the big bowl. A playoff gives you something to play for.

We will never play for a football national championship at this level.

True, but it basically returns your back to a second tier subdivision. Sounds like the 1970s all over again.

And I know it's not a popular idea, but it might be necessary. On a theoretical level, 1 in 128 teams have a chance at the National Championship. On an actual level, 1 in 64ish have a chance. The other 64 play for bowl games. It's the worst post-season in sports.
