TCU had a great year last year, but when push came to shove, they didn't really belong.


Who did then? Georgia destroyed that year. Is it TCU's fault Ohio St faced them in the semis?

Dude take a history lesson!
Take 5 minutes to go back and look at TCU, Utah, Boise football in the 2000s when they were non P5 schools.

Saturday Late Nights in Hawaii too.

With sports betting legal in 30+ states now, there is a demand for all FBS football.

Breakaway from the NCAA

NCAA would be forced to allow P5 schools to play them for their “cupcake games”

Create a playoff format

Sell TV rights to playoffs.

Most of those schools would be better off financially


ETA: Most locals fans don’t care what level your team plays at, as long as you are winning.

When the NCAA created the 1-AA (FCS) in the 1970s separating the likes of Holy Cross and the Ivy League and the Southland Conference from the rest it set into motion what we have today. The MAC and Sunbelt have chosen to have 85 scholarships and play on Tuesday nights in competing in the same division of the Big Ten and SEC.
Most of the Sun Belt are former Southland teams that decided to move up to D1 to make more money. Some of them, like ULM should have stayed in 1-AA, which is now FCS. They were competitive there. Would have a more loyal fan base if they were still playing Northwestern State, Nichols, McNeese, Southeastern, etc. Nothing wrong with being a big fish in a little pond.

We saw what Tulane did can those conferences really be overlooked across the board?

They need to form a new G10 With the top G5 + FCS conferences. Conferences like the Big Sky, CAA, MVC, Patriot, Southern move up and join the G5...that would be incredible. Lets be honest, this would FINALLY get the G5 schools out of playoff purgatory too. At least now these conferences would have an actual national championship trophy to play for. I would watch that!

McNeese is actively trying to move up to FBS for the money. I think ULM made the right call.

McNeese needs C-USA to be massively raised again to have a chance to move up. It will take 4-6 teams leaving for them to get an invite.

Missouri State, EKU, Tarleton, SFA are all in front of them.
