When the Alabamas of the world begin treating the Indianas like they currently treat G5 schools (no home-and-home, for instance) it will have all come full circle. It will then, truly, be what Dan Wolken calls the "haves vs the have-mores".

+1. I hope we never play another game against the P5. F'em

As desirable as such a position might be, the reality is that the money for such games is mainly in the hands of the P5 schools. It is a paraphrase of the old quote from bank robber Willie Sutton who, when asked why he robbed banks, replied "That's where the money is". It is the P5 schools who can pay a (ALWAYS!) visiting team one to two million to provide a big payday for the Athletic Department that can't be matched by playing other P5 teams who won't agree to such one sided contracts. Even Boise State after all its success still has had difficulty getting H&H contracts with P-5 teams.

Then every non-P5 school should make them pay 10 million per game. What are they going to do? Charge us with collusion ?
