I've been wondering if all this COVID stuff (severe lack of revenues) would cause many of the G5 conference schools to consider this as well. With Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi you could have a pretty darn good G5 conference for football and baseball, and your non-revenue sports are only bus rides away for weekend conference matchups.
