We have schools in the G5 who should be in a P5 conference while some P5 are G5. I think realignment should be taken out of the hands of school Presidents and BoTs on who should be invited to play in the conference since they do not know sports and what could draw people to the games. You do have failures like Colorado, Rutgers, Nebraska, Maryland, Pittsburgh and Missouri. We are now seeing more G5 and FCS schools kicking the butts of P5 schools. You need to add schools who the fans want to see, and not add crappy teams that fans will not see.
Nebraska and Missouri are failures?
David, if any of your fantasy schools drew flies, they might have an argument.
You truly are special but I want to know with proof from TV execs that we want to see more G5 schools when their own fans don't care?? Can you do that for the board? It might help your awesome credibility
BYU, Boise State, ECU, UCF, USF, Memphis and Cincinnati are the ones that draw more fans than some P5 schools. Washington State, Miami Florida, Pittsburgh, Boston College, Duke, Kansas and Wake Forest wind up getting less fan support. Miami I listed because they cooked their books to show more fans when live tv shows otherwise.
I forgot Houston as well.
Do you have links to back this up? I don't believe in fantasy. I want hard numbers to validate your claims over a 5 year period if referring to attendance. I want the same in regards to TV ratings.
I applaud you on your g5 crusade.
Ratings are tricky you need compelling games at the right times.
