Why? . The precedent is already set of multiple rules for classes within the Organization. D1 , D2, D3 all play by different rules now.
The additional class say D1 + for football is no big precedent.
The real argument has little to do with rules and a lot to do with money.
The football playoffs have the potential to be as big a source of revenue for the body as the basketball playoffs.
I suspect distribution of monies from both events is an issue .
The P5 who honestly creates that revenue don’t won’t to share
Even Indies like UConn get $800,000 a year from those playoffs.
The top G5 conference could earn $20,000,000 a year. Pretty good gig for non participation.
Expansion is a huge moneymaker for the NCAA but face it could impact
P5 revenue negatively.

Vanderbilt would be more similar to Northwestern as they’re both pretty prestigious private research schools. 
IU is the Flagship University of a large state. Kentucky would be a closer match to IU .also roughly simalar to UConn where the BB teams are traditionally more successful than football. They’re also pretty close geographically.
