The lie let G5 get money and recruiting and exposure they'd never get at the FCS (even though FCS holds the pure and holy playoff they claim to want)

The lie let P5 claim wins over FAU, Eastern Michigan and UNLV as worthy of counting toward bowl eligibility and the extra money and exposure they brought (and keeping coaches job safe another year)

But the truth is that FBS is 1A and 1B and always has been.

But now with the playoff, The G5 just really, really want the lie to become true while the P5 should just recognize the truth and make the division official. Bowl eligibility?? Reduce or just Get rid of win requirements for bowls because frankly who even cares about them anymore?

Thats fine, if you leave the NCAA and end the whole relationship in all sports.

The cartel wants to have their cake and eat it too. Keep the FBS post-season money, money, keep all the FBS post-season slots, keep the ability to buy 7 or 8 easy home games, keep all of the tv attention, have special rule-making authority over the NCAA, easy mid-week baseball games and lower OOC travel cost for other sports. Plus no chance of legal challenges by competitors because we are all under the same organizational unbrella.

It really is a lie. But I doubt they really want to turn on that truth spigot as much as many of their fans do.
