So, the G5 conferences have fleas? Or do they have glass jars?

That reminds me of an old saying in G5 conferences -- I know it's in the FCS, probably in the G5 -- that says, fool me once, shame on the fleas for putting lids on glass jars because it doesn't let the horse you led get a drink.

So with the strategy of staying regional(even in non bus leagues) they aren't setting expectations that won't be fulfilled.

I admit that if this is in any way a consideration it's very minimal at best OR it's simply the small mindset driven by being a small fish.

My thought process for this was remembering something a mentor told me many years ago about "fleas in a jar"



Anyway, that was a lot of words for what amounts to a simple thought experiment that will indeed result in multiple replies/post that miss my overall point. You're welcome Bisonville!!

As in all rational decision-making, it goes back to risk/reward. Simple as that.

You can make the argument that they’re underestimating reward or overestimating risk.

This is my stance is I think they are overestimating the risk of openly investigating opportunities “above” them. It’s common for new info and interested parties to come out of the woodwork when you put things out there.

I’ve witnessed this so many times in business in careers, etc. sometimes people and entities don’t know they’re interested in something until it becomes a tangible thing.

So many people have a very hard time seeing opportunities. They think they should be asked, when in reality that’s typically not how it works.
