UTEP and Rice did well on ESPN network in ratings. Going to CBSSports hurt them. The G5 should band together to try and sell a G5 Network. May need to add some schools from states not in the G5 network to sell. I could see Alaska schools for all sports so to get the network sold there and in getting Vermont.

G5 Network could add these schools for all sports for all year round:
Eastern Washington
Portland State
Montana and Montana State
North Dakota State
South Dakota State
Wichita State
Northern Iowa
Missouri State
UCA could bring a market.
Little Rock if they add football
UTA if they add football
West Texas A&M upgrading
Central Oklahoma upgrading
Lamar
Angelo State upgrading
McNeese State
Sam Houston State
SFA
UTRGV
Mankato State upgrading
Illinois State
Indiana State
Youngstown State
Milwaukee for basketball and later add football
Wayne State, Mich. upgrading
Jacksonville State
Jackson State in case Southern Miss goes somewhere.
North Alabama
Chattanooga
East Tennessee State
Eastern Kentucky
North Florida adding football later
FGCU adding football later
Gonzaga
St. Mary's
Valparaiso
Dayton
VCU
Kennesaw State
James Madison
William and Mary
Towson
Kutztown upgrading
Slippery Rock upgrading
Stony Brook
Albany
Central Conn. State incase UConn gets invited to a P5 conference.
Delaware
URI
Davidson
College of Charleston
Shepherd upgrading
Rowan wants in D1.
New Hampshire
Maine
Holy Cross
Long Beach State
Northern Arizona
Augusta
Azusa Pacific
Bellarmine
UC-San Diego (good basketball, and could create a crosstown rival in basketball. Would be the UCLA/USC of the G5.)
Colorado Mesa (Beach Volleyball and some other sports as filler)
Dallas Baptist
Arkansas Tech
Lindenwood
St. Louis
LIU-Brooklyn and LIU-Post merges. Post will upgrade football to FCS level.
Minn.-Duluth
Colorado-Colorado Springs
New York Tech
North Georgia
Texas A&M-Kingsville
West Chester

Some could be affiliates for single sports to cover missing pieces, while others could bring very good basketball and baseball to the G5. This could boast their RPIs. As for this? This could split the weak D1 from the strong D1 to create a 1AA basketball championship and other sports. Some of the D2 schools are stronger than many of the weaker D1 schools. Bellarmine could beat a lot of schools in their area in Men's basketball. Arkansas Tech did beat a D1 men's basketball team a few years ago in an exhibition. Chaminade and Alaska-Anchorage did beat strong D1 basketball teams in their tournaments in Hawaii and the Great Alaska Shootout. If you do supply demands of the best teams? People would buy into it. That is what the issue with C-USA. They brought in weak teams that did not sell well with broadcasters. Old Dominion and UTSA are exceptions for being new, and still getting it done on the field.
