They would be a place to start the discussions. One issue that may come up
is what impact would this league have on GORs and/or conference media contracts. It is possible that each conference could have its own GOR and/or media contract. It is entirely possible the media contracts are with a different provider than the Super League's contract. Also, it is entirely possible the end date of the GORs and/or media contracts are different than the end date of Super League's GOR and/or media contract. Depending on the players involved, it could get interesting and messy to see them try to sort that issue out even if the G5s decided to do it by themselves.
The other potential sticky issue is whether the G5s have a stronger claim that the Super League violates antitrust laws if the G5s are the only schools subject to promotion/relegation. If the P5s are never in danger of being relegated, then what is their incentive to try to compete vs. just coast and keep on collecting those checks? Heck you could even says the P5 division will continue the status quo of what currently exists in the P2 World because there is no punishment for teams that finish at the bottom of the conference or division for the Super League scenario.

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

The P2 currently has a massive financial advantage they do not want to lose

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

Even the G5 group would be interesting, given the pro/rel scheme.

Interesting concept. Not sure I get why there would be just 1 division

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

You are missing the point since the 8th division would be the only division
