That's why if another big divisional shakeup occurs *, it will be more likely to be the P5 leaving to form their own organization than via the P5 getting the NCAA to kick G5 schools out of FBS and down to FCS or to another made up division.
Legally, it's a lot harder to kick someone out of something they are already in, than to leave them behind for another place.
* ... which I don't actually see occurring, as the P5 likes having the G5 around.

Is this not basically the same thing though? The P5 breaking off on their own vs kicking out the G5? The end result is still the same, the P5 and G5 would be separate division classifications essentially.
