Nah, win over a top 15 and then top 20 team would get us up there. Just need to take care of business. We control our destiny.

This is what really sucks. We both win out and Boise gets NY6.

 

 

No chance Boise remains above us if we close the year 11-1, with two top 25 wins and a conference championship.

By doing so the P5 schools could simply break away from the NCAA and form their own governing body and separate league. Antitrust would be a moot point at that time. 

IDK. You and I may not teach at public schools, but most of the P5 are public. A serious threat to dry up their federal funds would go a long way towards the academic administration taking back control from the athletics departments.

Wouldn't that be the definition of a monopoly?

Agreed. You can forget any AG from a P5 state, so it would likely need to come from an AG in Connecticut, Idaho, New Mexico or Wyoming. With Connecticut being the bluest of those states that may be the best hope.

It didn't stop Orrin Hatch from complaining for years and years and he's a fairly red senator. I wouldn't be shocked if it was Idaho that led the charge with Boise getting the short end of the stick for so many years. Connecticut is a good call though.

CFP committee has indicated over these 4 seasons it thinks G5 plays a different brand of football from the rest of FBS. Can cite several examples. Sad.

I actually teach at a state school. But regardless, this is an interesting proposition you have. But I wonder if the house would’ve be motivated to threaten the reduction of federal funds (financial aid)?

Pretty sure the house values athletics over academics.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
