Since P5's wants separation, why not give it to them?

[CajunRebel]

Why dont we put the press box on the visitors side when we redo the stadium? Just suites on the home side.

TV cameras can’t face the sun, and TV broadcast has to be on the same side as the cameras.

That's exactly right.

Which is why every game should be a Louisiana Saturday Night game.... in a percect football world

1) I prefer student athletes but they should get a standardized amount of scratch. And should sign a 5 year contract in exchange for all of the various compensation.
2) we could still play p5 teams but at set amounts across all G5 teams(3 mil) per game or 2 mil and return trip game.
3) 5 balanced # conferences, playing only among ourselves unless really paid. No 1AA games.
4) let bowls bid on playoff games hosting
5) one giant contract with television.
6) call it “real college football!”
7) 12th game is conf. Championship. Rest of conference is seeded out to give best schools a final chance to make playoffs with their 12th game.
8) 16 team playoff
9) 94 scholarships, 110 total players at practice
10) cameras facing the full side of the stadium.

#1 will never fly as NIL is now legal.
#2. Limiting the opportunity of universities to maximize a P5 game
#3. A giant TV contract? You want a lot of networks bidding on pieces of the schedule.
#4. 110 players is 25 less than we have now. Need those numbers to get really good reps for eveyone.

Well you may be right. But, what I do know is that the top 30 money programs are only using the rest of us as chicken feed. The separation, is both financial and a glass ceiling. How long until another Cincinnati gets a shot. My ideas may need tweaking, but at least there is a chance at an equitable future in them. And we could have a schedule that has just one week day game and 5 Saturday games and only morning games when needed for TV. You want to compete? Then our product against their product. I think we need at least 60 teams to be viable. Maybe we need 2 or three networks to join us and compete with ESPN. The NCAA is a broken institution that we never had or will get a viable seat at the table, so why support what does not support us?

So you believe we should jump into a lifeboat because after all is said and done the current model is the Titanic early on after hitting the iceberg.

Exactly!
We have had a ranked program in the top 25 two years in a row in this current system. Why give up now? Hell NAW!!!!!!!!!!

[ImperialCajun]

I do not get the Titanic reference but I do know that if we go 13 and 0 next season we won’t get in the playoffs and we won’t play on New Year’s Eve. So what is your point or goal? I do know that if Mississippi State has a losing record in conference for baseball, they will still make the tournament. So what is your point. Enjoy the bottom of the ocean.

[ZoomZoom]

Man…nothing says small time like giving up and going the coke and trophy route.

[Cajunrunner]

Cincy made the playoff and they took that G5 NY6 bowl away from us this year.

A 20 point loss to a 5-7 Texas team did that.

The point is simple. Clearly you believe that Division 1A is the Titanic a flawed ship design captained by an aging fool. Your solution is a new division or lifeboats.

Most here understand that it’s not the Titanic destiny. The lifeboats of a lesser division isn’t a good choice.

[HoustonCajun]

That and our OOC schedule. We have to play 2 P5 schools each year, and win, to get better recognition. Outside of Florida State who has not been good recently, we play nobody and the SBC is still not highly perceived. We can't help our conference schedule although recent additions will help, but we can and must improve OOC scheduling.

We’re not getting anything from FSU except one P5 win? That’s not necessarily correct. They could actually be a top ten P5, but we’d still need another two top tier G5 wins to even think about the playoffs in the current system.
