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.

That article makes it seem like the G5 schools have some sort of say, which they certainly did when the article was written, like you pointed out. It is a way different ball game now. The G5 schools got theirs for a couple of seasons and now it will see how they get cut out as much as possible. Sure the P5 will schedule them because the G5 has become yesterday's FCS with making sure you become bowl eligible for a P5 team. I do not see the P5 willing to share the next TV deal so much with everyone as they did the last deal since there is no way it will be as lucrative. The G5 schools will get the shaft and they won't be looking to market a sustainable second tier because they choose to, they will because they have to.
The G5 is viewed as having more prestige when it 1) maintains 85 Schollies. 2) Plays games vs the P5 3) Goes to 3rd and 4th tier bowls with games against the 6,7, and 8 win P5 teams.
Nothing will change until the bowls change their structure. If the bowls Turn into G5 vs G5 games, then some playoff talk could heat up. If the P5 starts to pull out of games vs G5 in bowls, this could drive a change.
1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS
2015!! Man what a year!!
Carson Wentz, Montana, Easton Stick, Natty #5, 59-7, 55-0 … I think I’ve watched that Montana game like 5 times.
But it wasn’t really that long ago, my fiend. And has all that much REALLY changed with regard to the G5/P5? Sorry, but I’m skeptical. The G5 will never leave a larger payout to essentially become part of the FCS, no matter how much that payout shrinks, as long as its bigger than what the FCS gets.
