NCAA does not differentiate between P5 and G5. There is no reason, in theory, that a G5 team couldn't win a Dr. Pepper title if they somehow managed to put together the right schedule.

I mean we know you are effectively correct, which is why changes are probably needed. But so long as those G5 schools keep chasing that bowl money it's not likely things will change, regardless of how bad the actual financials look for the majority of G5.

I'd like to see NDSU move up too because we all know they can compete with anybody in the G5, but the funding and conference issues are pretty big hurdles with the potential to destroy not just Bison football but Bison athletics in general. I haven't been convinced they can overcome those hurdles.
