I was merely posting a link to a letter from the American Conference addressing our lack of Autonomous status and the fact that we wish to receive said status. If in fact the American does receive Autonomous status then by definition, the designations change. As in A6 vs A5 and G4 vs G5.

It doesn't change the Go5 designation ... that designation is about being part of the group of five conferences that negotiated as a group and obtained a contractual position in the NY6 bowl system as a group.

There is no G4 unless in a later round of CFP negotiations four conferences negotiate as a group, as opposed to five.

By contrast, it would automatically change the Autonomy 5 into the Autonomy 6.

We will agree to disagree. If the American obtains Autonomous designation then they are clearly apart of the "A" group. Autonomous 6 vs Group of 4 whom do not have Autonomous status.

I find it hard to believe that you fail to understand this simple concept. :phew:

Except the Go5 existed before the A5 existed. The "group" in Go5 is the group of schools that negotiated in the CFP negotiations as a group. There will be a Group of Four exactly when four conferences negotiate in a round of CFP negotiations as a group.

The A5 is an NCAA thing.

So I do understand the misconception that the Go5 is “the group of non-A5 conferences", I am also aware that it is a misunderstanding.
