I'll just say with the recent events, i dont think college football is going to change very much. It is not in the P5's interests to drive away the midmajor conferences completely, as their home games and rent a wins are crucial to the records and bottom lines.

I do think if there is a new landscape, it will be the choice of teams to compete in it or not. If UCF or another midmajor wants to follow the big boy's rules, they'll have no choice but to let them. People will still root for the midmajors and watch them on tv...

I am not a Tulane fan but cut them slack. If they were in the MAC they would have one of the top facilities including the stadium. They are in a conference that is appropriate for them and the stadium is right now the second best stadium in the state behind Tiger Stadium. If you're not getting a shot at the SEC or Big Ten you'd love to play at Tulane over LaTech or USL or NLU.

If they get 7-8 wins a season most years and get 20,000 in the stand it will be a success. Heck I'm wiling to bet that a 8-1 Tulane playing USL at home out-draws a 4-4 Miami FL playing Wake Forest.

Not anymore. With most conferences going to 9 or 10 games in a 12 game season the other two games will home and homes with other P5 conferences since there is a playoffs that will slowly expand to about 8 teams.

Boise would probably disagree. They obviously want a seat at the big boys table but they don't bring in the revenue to get an invitation even if they've had a very impressive record over the last decade.

Alumni of particular schools will obviously retain their allegiances but generally speaking their ratings are not competitive. People love to say they love underdogs but they don't actually watch them in the same numbers as the better known teams.
