G5 National Championship

I couldn’t find the right thread to put this in, but thought it was an interesting article in that it lays bare how they really feel about us. It’s just a matter of time when they start calling for it publicly.

“Mack and I would go to the NCAA convention every year, and we’d always sit next to each other, and we’d be on some committees sometimes, and you’d sit and you’d look up there, and there’d be an assistant commissioner from the Sun Belt Conference, there’d be an assistant athletic director from Old Dominion or, you know, and I’m not picking on those schools,” Meyer said on The Triple Option. “But you have the top 50 programs, maybe top 25 programs, are operating at a whole different level. Why in the world do we have someone from the Sun Belt Conference giving their opinion about how this should go on? And this went on for 20 years. Where we are at today, in my mind, is because of mismanagement and some leadership issues.”

I would watch a great championship game between (two) Group of Five teams. But watching a Group of Five play Alabama in the first round is a waste in many cases.”

1. Of course you would, so you can tell your staff who to go and tamper with
2. We've seen beaucoup blowouts in the CFP between power teams. You think Mack Brown's UNC team could hang with 2019 TSAB in a playoff game? These people are morons.

“Mack and I"...

Excellent formula for failure.

Where we are at today, (NCAA) is because everyone thought others opinions didn't matter.

Not open to any agreement is a terrible formula for success.

The whole elitist way of thinking makes my skin crawl. They are the real reason Collegiate sports is in shambles.

You do not hate these people enough.

If they want to put their money where their mouths are, they'd eliminate the playoff committee and revert back to a formula like the BCS and take top 12 teams period. There would have been around 17 G5 teams that would have made that format from 1998-2013.

Would also encourage scheduling stronger OOC opponents.

Schools like ours have REAL power, but they are not using it.
