The championship...put it on the Friday night BY ITSELF...before the first weekend of the NFL playoffs and three days before the CFP championship...and it would make HUGE money. Huge...not so much because everyone loves Houston vs. Boise State or UCF vs. Memphis or Western Michigan vs. Temple but because it's a TRUE championship game...and it's football. This is can't miss TV.

What were your favorite moments from the FCS playoffs, then?

G5 football is higher quality overall and has more fans/alumni. You could also ask me what my favorite Single-A high school state championship game was and I couldn't tell you either...because it wasn't televised nationally on a highly advantageous time slot.

Every G5 conference had more players drafted by the NFL than all of FCS combined. Draft numbers look similar to the P5 if you remove the 15-20 biggest programs.

G5's need to cooperate to get some better bowls with the P5 for their champions to open up recruiting more. There is nice product in the top 10-15 programs. Below that they are lucky to be in a bowl game.
