I know--my first thought as well upon reading the title.

This changes nothing. Every 5-star recruit will still go to an Alabama, O$U, Texas, OU, USC and the like. They never go to a G5 school - so throwing money at them won't make a difference.
The real competition is between conferences and we haven't seen the fight start yet. Just let the SEC try to push through some "legislation" like - "you can only recruit from the states you have teams in" - and this house of cards will fall apart.
The P5 are on a path of self-destruction and the G5 schools just have to sit back and watch.

Wonder if they allow the Christian Broadcasts on the air in Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc. Probably not a chance... Sorry, but I refuse to get my news or sports from a Middle Eastern source that for all intensive purposes hates us. I will just hang my hat on Fox and ESPN.

I understand that feeling, however, getting alternative sources of information is always a good thing, since every media outlet has some sort of bias.

I do not need to hear their side of the story... I have seen it. As Forrest Gump would say.." and that's all I am gonna say about that". It is a free country, at least for now.
