    As for the next point you made..Being in G5 is fun despite not being in the national title hunt. Though I am not a big football fan, it is still fun to go to games and see your old friends. You get to know some of the folks who come into town too. There tends to be pretty consistent parity in G5 and particularly the MW.

    It is still college football..It is still entertaining.

    The basketball will be better than the Summit.
    All valid points that I agree with, however I will say this. A 12-16 team G5 playoff would be an absolute blast and the championship game would likely get close to filling up an NFL stadium most years. But only if G5 schools woke up from fantasy land to realize that they were never playing with the P5 schools to begin with. Unfortunately to your point, very unlikely.
    Mountain West, hope for the best.

    The peak of the 2013 season was beating K-State. All 4 playoff games were over at halftime

    This year, twice as many people went to Arizona than Frisco

    Fans want to see great games. The playoffs thr last few years have declined because the games suck. Its gonna get even more lopsided with good teams exiting. Now we dont even play every MVFC team every year

    Playing Tulane, who beat USC in the Cotton Bowl would be equally as exciting as Frisco or most playoff games if we host them at the dome on ABC for the AAC Conference Championship. So would traveling to New Orleans if they finish 1st and we finish 2nd and we have to travel there

    Some Bowls would be less exciting than Frisco but others would. I guarantee K-State is pumped about their season and they didnt win the Natty

    But when you can do home and homes with Appalachian, Georgia Southern and JMU, that's better than a 40 point playoff game vs Colgate toothpaste

    Also an extra 22 scholarships mean more horses. Its easier to find the next Jabril or Watson when can offer more of them

    Az stadium was bigger. Not hard to figure out.
    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    You don't give out trophies for losing. Trophies for sucking. That's a communist idea. You don't get a trophy for losing. You get a piece of pizza and you shut up. Trophies for losing? What the hell happened to us?

    Surely the Arizona game was a much larger draw than Frisco. At least a 50% bigger draw if the stadiums were the same size.

    It's hideous...EWU, Maine and Central Arkansas. Southern Illinois might be our best home game, the marketing department is going to have to put in some work.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
