G5- P5 Power Struggle

[ZoomZoom]

The reaper is coming on all this. Don't act suprised when it happens. Athletics will get blown up on multiple levels. It might what brings it back to the days of innocence, or at least kind of.

As the government moved to track "gig" income on musicians and other cash based income, the NIL plan is giving the government exactly what they wanted when it comes to college athletics . All the under the table money is now in the open. Where UL needs to be diligent is in situations where an athlete (forgive me for not including student in the name) is getting NIL money but not claiming it on the PEL grant appliction (and similar) used to suppliment the cost of attendance. Even though the NIL and university are supposed to be seperate, we all know it is not (ie: Will Hall). All universities are complicit at the end of the day.

This will blow up some day, just look at Dartmouth and the proposed unionization. It's coming. As I often say, ALWAYS follow the money.

Regardless of how much more disheveled the power struggle within college football becomes, its important the G5 retain its newly gained highest ranked conf. champion automatic entry in the CFP. Also believe it will benefit the four G5 conference champs not making the CFP to be paired in two bowls. Not a playoff, just match the best teams that season in each a destination city bowl, make it become a tradition in a sport sorely in need of creating new ones. Could be two of the four bowls each year: New Orleans or Barstool Arizona or Orlando Cure or Myrtle Beach. Odds are the winners improve their chances of earning end of season Top 25 ranking.

The G5 will as long as they, meaning the P5 will allow it. The idea behind the playoff expansion was not to increase more opportunities for the G5 but allow other ranked teams from the power conferences that may have lost the conference championship game or lost several games during the season to make the playoffs. Thus far, only the SEC has had more than 1 team make the playoffs. Now the door will be open for other conferences.
