Seems like there's only about ten P4 schools right now that can pay for everything in college athletics that's heading our way; all about to become much more expensive. I'd bet on a slimming down of the P4 to P3 with at most maybe 48 schools within next ten years resulting in G5 ranks growing dramatically. It won't be pretty. As stated earlier in this thread, Louisiana missed the first boat(s) to climb a few rungs. We still have a chance to become part of the best of the rest. Our football and men's basketball need to consistently win big to get in the national conversation spotlight. App St. outshining us in the perception spotlight and when we should be way out in front of them.
