Make G5 football a spring sport, so you don't have to compete with the P5 for eyeballs. The trick will be finding a time for your 16 team championship tournament that doesn't have to compete with NBA playoffs, Stanley Cup, and golf.

Excuse me, WTF? And what about the G5 teams with historical and regional rivals with P5 teams? What about the fact that would eliminate almost ALL NFL draft picks from G5? What about the fact that some schools have less than 5 weeks between the end of college basketball and the end of spring semester?

He is mocking us. He doesn't like the AAC or schools that don't play in the semi pro 5. He got defensive on my ESPN thread. He's very pro ESPN

Of course I am mocking. Who wouldn't mock a strategy to try to trick fans into thinking the G5 isn't something they have rejected for years? Such a premise is, in itself, a mockery. I never thought for a second this thread was meant to be taken seriously. Just like I didn't take your anti ESPN screed seriously.

"Pro ESPN"? That's a real knee slapper.

Me thinks you protest about the AAC too much. What are you getting so defensive about? Real college athletics (non semi pro 5) isn't hurting you.

Actually, I don't protest about the AAC at all. They are "real college athletics" just as much as the ACC and the Ivy League are. What I poke fun at are the delusional and paranoid fans who are unwilling to accept that the marketplace - not some evil villain - has slotted their schools at a level that is lower than they would like it to be.

And, frankly, the delusion and paranoia seems to be growing in some of those fans.
