(The season would have to start in late February too)

Increased tv revenues are highly unlikely. Viewers in the spring are watching March Madness, The Masters, the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the NBA playoffs. The competition is less in the fall - just P5 college football plus MLB Playoffs (as NFL doesn’t conflict with college).

More importantly, tv deals are based on demand. The demand isn’t there to watch most G5 brands - no matter where it’s placed on the calendar. Demand to watch G5 brands doesn’t arrive until there’s a David vs Goliath pull, which wouldn’t exist with no P5’s to play.

Agree. The 2020 season is a writeoff. Lost over $1 million from Iowa etc., saved $400k with no URI game. MAC season too expensive by itself. So have a regular spring runup, "normal" 2021 season and hopefully a good one. Plan, build and do both well. A manufactured spring season isn't worth it.
