The solution you're suggesting is probably what's going to end up happening: the P4 and G6 splitting up.

Sometimes. Some schools charge an athletics fee to help

I've never seen Jeff Landry rent a cayenne pepper from Florida to bring to a Cajun game.

La Tech has a moderately successful program.
ULM should be FCS
ULL makes the lowest tier bowl games once in a while.

That put LSU's future ability to have a live tiger on campus at risk. I don't think that's caring about LSU, that's just caring about getting his name in the headlines.

Someone should tell these wizards of smart that Tech, ULL, ULM are all in the Sun Belt….and they would have to pay “stout” exit fees if they left.

Sauce for the goose. LSU should do the same. Relying on the donors to keep the lights on is bad business, regardless if feelings get hurt.

As a La Tech guy, why did they let us pay the massive CUSA exit fee to go to the Sun Belt, not even a year ago, just do all this? Plus our travel costs will be going significantly down in the SBC. No more trips to Delaware, FIU, or NMSU. Get to go to Lafayette, Monroe, Hattiesburg, Troy, Jonesboro, and Mobile instead.
I feel like 100% of Bulldog and Cajun fans want to stay in the Sun Belt as long as possible. Nobody wants to go to the Southland. That would just about kill the football program. ULM MAYBE would drop down, although even that’s questionable.
The “retirement” of President Jim Henderson at Tech is certainly concerning, as he was the most pro-athletics president in a while. I feel like things could get ugly in Ruston if they bring in a Jeff Landry puppet who tries to carry out Landry’s cost-cutting orders.

This is a bigger that LA problem
The G6 need to have their own division, below FBS and above FCS with their own roster and payment rules.
Those schools can then stay in Sun Belt, have less money pressure, and have their own playoff.

Not saying they aren't lower tier bowl games but- the last 8 years in a row is not "once in a while"

I think the split happens within ten years. None of this is tenable for G6 programs.

None of this is tenable for all but a handful of programs with massive donors. Top down everything could use a restructuring to cap costs.

I do agree with that. I would be in favor of the G6 splitting away from the P4 and having its own playoff. I hope we can still play P4s in the regular season for money games, but I’m on board with a G6 playoff.
But I think these 3 schools all need to stay in the Sun Belt.

LA makes it worse for the 3 programs. No access to student fees to supplement their budget puts them at a huge disadvantage. It's some old archaic rule to protect LSU, when it would do nothing to usurp their power.

G6 needs major consolidation but shutting them out entirely will make college football an NFL level bore.

The root of the problem is that Louisiana has a population half the size of the DFW metroplex. Louisiana has about 4.6 million and DFW has about 8.6 million people. Louisiana has 17 public 4 year universities for 4.6 million people which is way too much. Bottom line, every university is bellying up to the table for a piece of the pie, only there is not enough pie to go around. The hard decision is not to degrade football programs, that doesn't solve the problem. The problem is we need to eliminate probably 10-12 of those 4 year universities and have 5-7 stronger sustainable universities with well funded academic and athletic programs. The problem is any suggestion of such at any level of the legislation in this state is political suicide and would never happen. IMO..

It already is an unofficial split and it was coming regardless of what anyone in Louisiana does

It's not for a lot of schools. See Rutgers.
It'll probably end up killing the SEC and Big Ten soon enough as well. The split will make it have a NASCAR style implosion

I've seen the Cajuns ranked #1 in my lifetime within the last 15 years.
