Y'all are not thinking in the future. Yes, the G5 programs would probably be humiliated today, but in 5 years, with an honest all inclusive playoff system, you would see G5's making an impact, with a National championship win every 3-5 years.
Why you ask, because the big time players wouldn't have to go to the P5 programs for a chance to play in the national championship. They could stay closer to home and have family and friends come see them every home game. Also, it would be easier for the G5's to make it to the playoffs (if they were included in the playoff picture) than the P5's. Again, take the 10 Div I conference winners plus 6 at large.
So, you want to make it the playoff system, win your conference or cross your fingers and hope you get an at large bid out of the 6 remaining openings. G5's, in 5 years from now, IF THEY HAD A TRUE PLAYOFF SYSTEM, would be able to recruit better players, more local players. Promise you this would work. But, the P5's will never allow this to happen. So I say, the G5's should stop playing the P5's immediately. If I (G5) can't be included in post season playoffs, then you can't play me during the regular season. And you adjust your budget accordingly.
P5's can't exist without the G5's, but the G5's CAN exist without the P5's. They just have to put their foot down and make the break......break that cable....or umbilical cord and start playing like a big boy. As long as the bullies run the game, things will never change. But until G5's grow up and realize they really have the upper hand in this, the leverage, nothing will ever change, which is so sad.
