Just now: 61% of Power Five support what would essentially be a breakaway from the NCAA to establish a fourth division in all sports. P5 would be able to establish its own amateurism rules and scholarship limits. #knightcommission

Except for it's going to be more than just the P5 in that division. The logical step is to go with 80-90 schools (eight conferences of eleven teams mostly on geography/history makes the most sense and gives the 5-8 powers their own little kingdoms to rule over). Otherwise its 65 schools beating up on each other.

Right now the AAC has a chance to have it's best performance overall ever, largely because the SEC is going to have multiple loss top teams as will the ACC. Meanwhile the B12 has issues because they lost too many of their one non-conference games and is now following the SEC and ACC in beating each other up. The AAC has done well enough in its average of 2 ooc games per team to build up.

End of this season will see those p5 teams looking for little brothers like rutgers and louisville who will come in and take less money to be part of the club. They need about 20 solid teams in rep and support to take along with them for wins and votes/appearences.

This is of course why the p6 is important along with the importance of the performance the last several years.

Yeah exactly; the 39% not in favor are the schools that would perennial doormats. These coaches and AD's don't want to give up the cupcake games. Even if they kept one it would still mean notably more teams with losing records causing coaches and ADs to be on even hotter seats. Fans don't want to pay premiums for losing teams. Right now the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 ands others have their own fans fooled that a team has 4-5 losses in conference with 2-3 cupcake wins OOC vs CUSA and FCS is a legit winner because their overall record is 7-5 or 8-4.

I was thinking the opposite. I was thinking the B12 schools that lost to the Sun Belt this year would be the first aboard the bus.
