Thoughts?

Would this be a dagger to the heart of many small schools even beyond football?

Change is coming, but

what is he trying to move to?

It is coming but it won't change the NC mix. Boring!

I doubt the big schools are going to want two governing bodies to deal with. If the power 5 goes its own way, it will probably be in all sports.

Imagine if they change to around 65-70 P5 schools. That likely moves more games strictly amongst the P5 and takes paydays away from G5 schools. If that happens, it likely downgrades G5 football and all other sports for those schools. Could and likely would literally destroy the NCAA...

The article actually recommends splitting off FBS football from the NCAA, not just Power 5.

We’re coming too!**

I see that now. I guess I keyed in on the line “ the group also considered the idea of creating a new division just for schools in the Power 5 conferences”
