No worries and I do agree with you that no one wants to extend the regular
season to 18 games. Hence why I think the G5 ADs and maybe even their Presidents would only buy into the plan if there is a guarantee that a team gets to play every other team in the division home and away 1 time before the risk of relegation comes into play. The money factor is too great to ignore given that any level (i.e. G5, DI-FCS, DII, DIII, NAIA DI, NAIA DII, etc.) you will find that every team does not have the same value/appeal. Heck that is even the case at the HS level. Even if the division tries to balance out the most appealing teams as evenly as possible, then you run into the risk Team A could end up playing Team B home or away multiple years in a row (assuming both teams were not relegated the prior year). That is an entirely different problem, but still connected to the home-away issue.

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

Maybe you could do the promotion by G5 conference?

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
