I wonder why they buried this one, since everything she says is true. At least under the BCS, G5 upstarts had a shot. Now?
Here’s a quote - Former Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier saw the same system rewarding only Power 5 programs during the BCS era. He once told me, "Had we beaten Nevada in [2010], we would have had a chance, and that was under the BCS system and this was after we had gone to Congress and put a little pressure on it. Now, there's no chance, in my opinion, for a Group of 5.
They can go undefeated all they want, but that committee is not going to let them in the top four. I don't see that happening, and I think that's a shame."
And yet the G5 will never willingly leave the table. Talk about an unbalanced and abusive relationship. Imagine how they must all feel about FCS …
This is why college football needs a boss. It’s basically being run by ESPN and the P5. Talk about a COI …
As long as the G5 keeps getting paid they have no reason to upset the apple cart that is paying them.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
