eventually do their own thing. Once that happens, I am not sure there will be a gap between the other 2 groups. There may not really be a gap between some schools like Duke, Wake, BC, etc. within that group and the Gs because those schools made their "money" via basketball. They just happened to be at the "right place at the right time" when it came time to join a conference. It doesn't really matter what you or I think. If the schools don't buy into it, then it will never get off the ground. I'm not just talking about the G schools, but DII and DIII as well because they will likely have to sign off on the bylaw change. Then it will become a question of what are the P2 and/or ESPN willing to give up in order to get what they want. If the P2s do end up doing their own thing, then I do think the remaining FBS may decide to recombine with FCS. Schools may be forced to reduce their expenses because they see a reduction in revenue due to the networks decision to reallocate more money to the P2 League. You may even see conference networks go away or adopt the same model that is currently being used by the MWC, C-USA, and Sun Belt to free up additional resources that could be re-allocated to the P2 League.
