All of you guys are making my point. If we're in a position to "pay to play"; irregardless of conference affiliation, we'll be in a better position to fight for playoff terms, recruits, etc... Not every p5 team will want to pony up that kind of money, especially one taht is already deep in the red to begin with, with TV revenue that may or may not be what it once was. I think we come out of this at the end of the day in a pretty good spot - if we're prepared to pay the stipend.
