You don't need a home and home schedule to do relegation and promotion.

It coincidentally is that way in the Premier League, but it doesn't have to be that way unless you want to do 18 games, which I doubt anyone does. The way it makes it sound in the article is that the G5 teams would have their own "league", but 10 teams would rotate in somehow (or at least have relegation and promotion of SOME teams in it each year. In other words, maybe only 4 teams get relegated instead of all 10. But it is unclear. The big problem to me is that within each 10-team division is that some teams will have 5 home and 4 away, while others have 4 and 5. An easy way to fix that is to just do divisions with an odd number of teams in it. 11 teams perhaps. Assuming they stay at 12 regular season games, that would give schools 5 home, 5 away, 2 OOC. I am also assuming that all division winners would make the playoffs, with a bunch of at-large bids.

If the P2 don't join it, I say we do it anyway.

I doubt anyone in the P2 is proposing this. But I don't hate the idea.

I do wonder if the networks might go for this...

Even the G5 group would be interesting, given the pro/rel scheme.
Truthahn 04/04/24 01:04 PM ET
Interesting concept. Not sure I get why there would be just 1 division
VTHokie2000 04/03/24 07:39 PM ET
Maybe you could do the promotion by G5 conference?
Truthahn 04/04/24 01:09 PM ET
They would be a place to start the discussions. One issue that may come up

It isn't coincidental that the EPL intentionally did it that way when you
VTHokie2000 04/04/24 12:21 AM ET
VT's schedule wouldn't even be close to looking like that.
Maroon Baboon 04/04/24 12:30 AM ET
You are missing the point since the 8th division would be the only division
VTHokie2000 04/04/24 12:38 AM ET
Ahh. I get it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Maroon Baboon 04/04/24 12:44 AM ET
No worries and I do agree with you that no one wants to extend the regular
