With all this talk about the 'high standards' of what it takes to be a P5 program, I thought I'd start a thread to identify some of the current P5 members that are historically mediocre to god-awful.
During their existence, these programs are basically extremely lucky to have that 'golden ticket' in hand, despite doing nothing to show they deserve it.
I know for a fact, that if ALL P5 and G5 teams were reset overnight and a draft was held, that many of the AAC teams would be more desirable than these football programs.
Again, this is for the football product only and we can all add a non-worthy Program
I'll start with the first unworthy Program
