With the news today about the P5 voting on autonomy and the hints that they might only play P5 schools, does this force the next round of conference realignment? Some of the teams that arent in the P5 have to be nervous.

Notre Dame?
Connecticut
Cincinnati
BYU
Boise State
Houston
South Florida
Central Florida

What are schools like this going to do? Is expansion coming?

ND is part of the 65

and you have to be asked to be in the power conferences. I'm sure those schools aren't happy but wtf are they going to do about it?

I still think that the Big 12 will eventually add BYU, Cincinnati or Houston. UConn is the school thats in a tough spot.

Yep. They shouldn't be, but they are.

SEC = 14
ACC = 14
Big 10 = 14
PAC-12 = 12
Big XII = 10
ND = 1

But its the principal, they aren't special. Join a freaking conference. I don't know why the P5 show them any preferential treatment. Its beyond ridiculous.

Because money talks. They have a huge following whether you like them or not. Leaving them out would be an idiotic business decision

Who is going to pay for that ULL stadium expansion with the coming drop in revenues?

Yeah, Notre freakin' Dame shouldn't be part of the powers...their own Network deal - 11 (Claimed) National Titles - (plus 11 other "Bama titles = 22 Bama Titles) - 7 Heisman winners, most famous coach in history, most renowned rivalry in CFB history - with most Heismans + All-Americans playing in that inter-sectional game) and one of only 5 schools you can't write the history of CFB w/o including them.

But yeah...they should be treated like Boise State and BYU.

A) I hope the P5 break away and leave the NCAA. B) I hope a stipulation to be in the final four is to play in your conference championship game and force ND to join a conference.
