From Jim Williams' mouth to God's ears.  We are about to ascend.

Also, Jim is a USF alumni who works in media consulting in DC, so take this for what it's worth - 

 

Read the replies.  No one outside of us die hards and Williams believe that to be true.  Kind of have to say I agree with them.  Now if we improve exponentially each of the next 2 years in both football and basketball, then people may take notice.

The issue with relegation...

 

Would it only apply to Football? Or would it apply to the entire Athletics department? 

 

Because, a team can be great in football and garbage in basketball (and vice versa - e.g. UCONN). How do we weigh this?

It would likely only work if football was on their own when it comes to conferences.  Conceptually, it would be similar to how NCAA hockey looks, except on a grander scale.

In a hypothetical relegation setup, both ways could be considered but football only seems easier. Especially if the relegation only includes current D1 teams and doesn't mix in D2 or 3. P5, G5, and FCS are football only things. For all the other sports D1 is D1. So if I were the king of the NCAA, those other sports would be in regional leagues.

I wouldn't mind seeing it across all sports. I think the idea of these fixed conferences being pitted against each other for TV dollars is very silly. As is these student athletes cosplaying as professionals.

TV contracts are at least 98% football
