Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 1851012, member: 523"] FB runs CR because, FB money goes directly to the school's because, FB money isn't run through the NCAA becuase, FB money started with the Bowl Committees long before the NCAA was a thing so, FB is run by the conferences becuase they control the money, Value is based on perception, perception is based on winning big games, Big Bowl games are the most common way to see top intersectional matchups. The bowls are aligned with certain conferences. The opportunity to be perceived as valuable is slanted towned the affiliated conferences. The TV money follows and th P5 is born. The money allows the division to sustain itself. Valuable teams play in these conferences, regardless of the individual schools value. Over time the success builds a following, this following amplifies perception which amplifies money which perpetuates the divide. To be valuable you need to be in a conference with access to a contract bowl game, then you need to win enough to build a large following. Without the winning and a large following any school can be plugged into the P5 system and be compensated as if they were "valuable". We are more valuable per media dollar earned than any school in the nation right now. If put into a P5 situation we become more valuable than half the current P5 schools. [/QUOTE]
