I am in Atlanta and Ron Hunter was on 92.9 radio talking about less at large teams for non power 5 schools. It will be interesting to go back a decade and compare the number of at large teams non power 5 conferences got compared to this year.

This is what I think happened

The so called power 5 must have had a secret meeting about 6 years ago and said the following:

We don't like how close Butler came in Basketball and Boise State in football. What can we do
to effectively minimize all other conferences without leaving the ncaa .

FOOTBALL
4 Team Playoff. THE SPIN , Now all FBS teams have a shot. We will tell everyone that it is set in ston for a dozen years so when the push comes to expand to 8 teams we can say we have a 12 year contract. Even though we know we could go back in and re-do the contract anytime.

THE REALITY Our hand selected committee will never rank a non-power high enough to ever qualify for the playoff (see UCF)

What can we do to hurt the other conferences even more. We as P-5 confrences play more conference games and schedule more non conference games with other
P- 5 conferences.

NET EFFECT It raises our strength of schedule and decreases revenue games for G-5 teams We retain our recruiting advantage so we can tell recruits no G5 team
will ever play in the 4 Team playoff

Let's see if we can actually get all members that play NCAA Football to
let the P-5 Conferences have their own rules committee that does not include all FBS members just P-5 schools.

Change as much of the bowl schedule as we can to limit a P-5 Team from Playing a G-5 Team.
Also whenever a G-5 team beats a P-5 Team in a bowl game make sure all media state the reason was the P-5 Team was not motivated because they missed paying in the 4 team playoff.


BASKETBALL Increase your conference games and schedule more power 5 teams non conference Cherry pick good teams from other conferences this will add P-5 strength of schedule and add television money

So if we as P-5 conferences all get from 5 to 8 teams in the dance and limit at large selections from other conferences we have many more chances to earn ncaa credits and win the championship.

Let's get the NCAA to take over the NIT so we can also get more of our teams in and with a higher seed.

PLAYER MONEY Let;s give the student athletes between 2000 and 5000 each for spending money yearly. The G-5 will have to match and it will hurt their budgets to a much greater percentage at a time when college enrollments are decreasing and state funding keeps going down.



TELEVISION Keep and expand the high paying contracts with the major sports networks. Develop our own networks and This keeps P-5 conferences on the major channels and the others can go find their games on the internet somewhere.

Also keep referring to all teams not in the P-5 as the Group of 5 in football and as a mid major in basketball. If you can get the media to keep stats just on P-5 schools that is an added bonus.

Well they have done a masterful job executing this master plan. So I applaud you Central Florida for declaring yourselves National Champions.

Sounded like a good interview.

Yeah Ron was great.
They asked him if he wanted the Georgia job.
He said he was happy where he was, but don't all coaches say that

probably true in his case. We are building him an arena that he helped design.

Still his design even if he leaves. Doubt he turns down “da DAWGZ” if offered.

Sounds like a lot of 'thinking'.

Are they going to build that by your new football stadium

Yes. Property adjacent to the stadium was purchased.

No reason to leave for UGA -- he's already built a more successful program in his tenure. I think Hunter would leave for the right major conference job in the midwest, like Purdue, but all indications are that he'll usher in the new arena and then go do broadcasting.

How old is he? Must be older than I thought.

He's an urban downtown campus coach. Not worried unless someone like Temple or someone from the Big East comes calling. He likely coaches a couple more years and then heads to TNT.

Still he walks to uga if given a call lol shoes or no shoes. I dont think Fox is going to be fired with the FBI thing going on probably one of the few clean coaches.

They will be dumb if they do. In this age with alll the corruption word is he is one of the guys that does it the right way. But at the cost of successful ie winning it all in their eyes.

I think Ron Hunter retires soon too. I'm almost certain GSU is his last stop

Hopefully UGA will be looking for someone who has recruited in competition with SEC and ACC schools. CRH might well be able to do so, but he does not have a track record in this regard. After CMF, UGA is not going to discount recruiting experience at the highest level.

BUT, this FBI investigation could be a game changer. If enough big time coaches are dismissed, CRH is likely to be in the group of mid-major coaches considered after the clean guys with that recruiting experience are exhausted.

I don't think so. I'm sure he has a list and UGA isn't one of those schools. Marquette might be a different story.

Hunter to UGA would be a bad fit.

The P5 officials are the divas on that stage. They wouldn't take too kindly to Hunter trying to show them up every night.

Please this argument of a lower level coach passing on a massive pay day because of fit is the silliest on message boards. Most of the people that say this nonsense would move across the country for a 10K raise at a new job.

Again he will walk to Athens for 2M+ vs the peanuts Sun Belt coaches make. What is he 500K at GaSt, give me a break. You go from doing very well to generational wealth. I heard the interview he did not say no he just said it would not be appropriate to talk about another job. If the answer was no he would have just said no nothing to lose if you have zero interest.

You know what makes a job a good fit every time for a coach getting a 1M+ pay raise much less 1.5M+
