Think of all of the kids playing at the FCS level that play

for the love of the game, and an opportunity to get an education. I don't hear of many NIL deals at that level. Move on up the ladder through the C5, and there aren't a whole lot of kids on those teams that have a shot at the pros (including the P2). They constitute the lions share of athletes playing the game. Every athlete would like to become a pro and make the big bucks, but you are right, most are just fine getting the scholarships, benefits, and being able to put on that uniform, and wink at the cheerleaders. That kind of ball would still sell. The money part is complicated with the media revenue and ticket sales. What is fair, and what is not, may be above my paygrade. I'm not even sure I'd like to take a stab at it, other than it should be equal across the league, level, or division.

Josh Pate, likely no change in 2025 PO seeding, 4-4-2-2-1-1 likely for 26.

The ACC has no such option. **

What option?**

Going against the P2 is a technically possible but unrealistic option
RandomAsianGuy 02/22/25 09:51 PM ET
I agree with your last statement, but to be clear,
Big12 guy 02/23/25 06:20 AM ET
That’s right, P2 will grab what they want, and eventually break off 🏈🏀4💵

We don't have the option of a timetable either

Just a comment on the media part of that.

All that is well and good........

AGREE. Maybe GW will field a team. **

Their biggest impediment at this point is ESPN

If each of the P4 went to 18 teams, it could work well in the long run.
hokieZ71 02/22/25 09:12 AM ET
do you honestly think a P4 really exist anymore? **
VTCALS72 02/24/25 08:41 AM ET
A couple questions regarding your proposal.
VTHokie2000 02/22/25 09:27 AM ET
#1. Exactly, for football. But it matters for other sports.
hokieZ71 02/22/25 10:28 AM ET
I doubt you could come up with a strong enough sales pitch to convince VT
VTHokie2000 02/22/25 11:16 AM ET
What the heck? Why would that happen?**
hokieZ71 02/22/25 12:42 PM ET
As I stated previously it would happen because the ACC wanted to make sure
