Of course, some of those players will jump to a big-time school after a year or two (though some will probably stay). So it becomes a kind of one-and-done situation where they are leaving for P5 schools instead of the pros.

It will definitely result in P5 schools using the G5 as a farm system of sorts. For instance, if (fill in the blank P5 school) has a player has a guy leave early for the draft, get significantly injured, have some offf the field issue that results in suspension/expulsion etc. it would be extremely easy for them to pluck right from the cream of the crop in the G5 to fill in that gap.

Possibly, but likely it would be the third string guy instead of the backup That second stringer knows he is just a concussion or one bad game away from take snaps away from the #1 guy.
