Message: [QUOTE="A10 fan, post: 2037348, member: 3154"] I think many of the P5 schools would love to do this, but they won't because they fear congress getting involved. It's one thing to lock out schools that were never part of the club, but it's a whole different thing to kick schools out. I doubt these schools would go quietly, and I would expect congressmen from their states to start making noise. My guess is that there will end up being 80 teams at the big boy level. They could either go 4x20, or more likely 5x16, so that current rivalries will be less affected. The football playoff will be expanded to 8 teams. ND will likely be forced into the ACC. Since the big boys will still want to have G5 buy games on their schedule, and the lesser lights of the P5 won't want to be reduced to cupcake status, they won't want to totally crush the G5. They will still leave an opening for an exceptional G5 team to reach the playoff, or at least a major bowl. If UConn ultimately fails to join the P5, and decides to deemphasize football, the BE will still be there for them. [/QUOTE]
