One other thing that is worth saying although maybe it smacks of socialism is that none of this mad scramble would be happening to the extent that it is if the NCAA, ESPN/ABC, Fox, CBS, etc. guaranteed that the G5 schools would have a floor of $5 million per school per year. Maybe that kind of $$$ is not available but maybe it is. I realize the NCAA subsidizes Division II and III. When I saw a Div II basketball game of the week on TV, the jerseys did not look so good and the players didn't even have their names on the back of them. This is a crazy system based on profit to the schools whether they declare it as such or not. In Europe and elsewhere, college athletic teams are not organized in this fashion. My alma mater is in the ACC and we will earn more $$$ and that's nice but I always had bad feelings about the schools that we left behind in the old Metro basketball conference. Three of the other Metro schools are now in the ACC and one is now in the SEC - the rest went into the merger with C-USA and some later entered the AAC. Anyway, here's wishing you guys "make the cut" and enter the "P5".
