The P4-G6 split is no solution as G4-P6 is nothing but an ESPN construct.
By all rights the Big 12 should be G7; but instead, ESPN gave them a raise after they lost Texas and OU becaue they needed more inventory for their P division. Texas Tech the big dog in a "power" league. Sure.

I understand these are not going to be popular on an LSU board, but LSU does what is best for LSU. Not the state. Not the areas service. Only LSU. The legislature is heavily invested and heavily backed by those with similar interests and no matter where a lawmaker went to school allegiance to LSU is paramount to getting things done in Baton Rouge and support. Over the last 50-60 years that allegiance has been interpreted and widely accepted as being because it is better, when it in fact is just the most protected.

Well, Tech just stepped down a bit in conference affiliation with a more reasonable schedule this year. All three are now in same conference. What about other teams in conference? You can’t have teams in same conference with different affiliations. D1 vs. FCS. If Tech and UL played full FCS schedule they would surely kick arse.

You could put together a fun little conference with the schools from LA plus USM and a few from ARK and ETX. Local rivalries, easy travel.
Like the Southland?
Exactly what I thought
Growing up in Lafayette in the 60s and 70s, those USL-La Tech games were fun but also frustrating for us in Lafayette.

The crazy reality is, ESPN probably has more influence on this than anyone. They can't schedule programming with just a handful of blue chip programs. They have a lot of hours to fill.

We will see what The Board of Regents says about LSU’s budget short falls. They held a meeting with the LSU president last week.
I’m sure we won’t hear a peep about it.

I agree with this. Used to have La Tech, USL, NLU, Southeastern, McNeese, Northwestern all in the Gulf South Conference. It was a good conference. Rivalries, the State Fair game, it was good, well attended football.
I think the G4 teams should all be in the FCS. All they do is get beat up by most Power 5 teams. They would have a reason to play at the end of the season instead of the bag bowl games.

I can't stand this take. Georgia just beat Oklahoma 41-13.

From ESPN's story on the potential expansion to 24 teams for the College Football Playoff:
"CFP leaders could consider a requirement to eliminate FCS opponents, so Group of 6 teams play only FBS-level teams."
Lots on the table right now, this would send shockwaves everywhere.

Whose is ULL? I’ve never heard of them. Most likely it was a typo and you meant to type UL.

These "power" schools get $30Mill minimum extra per year (compliments of ESPN) and most of them aren't "power" under any definition.

You forgot the S. It's USL or is it SLI? It's hard to keep up. Y'all change your name every 20 years on average.

If/when the P4 and G6 split how many G6 programs actually will breakeven or turn a profit.
The OOC games with the P4 programs that pay the bills are going to be greatly reduced.

How long will the bottom half of the P4 like being doormats when they can’t play FCS or G6 programs?
