wow. Looks like the G5 needs to spin off and do its own thing. SEC/Big 10 schools go from 5.5 million per participant to 21 million. G5 schools go from 1.5 million to 1.8 million.

If that happens, I'm out.

I get it, but that’s where it’s moving. The big schools are forcing out the G5 schools, but they cant kick them out or they face litigation… so they squeeze & force them to voluntarily leave.
Same will be coming for basketball too.

Yep. All those folks that have been saying "Memphis basketball will be fine either way", are about to learn a hard lesson.

I know I’m gonna start a holy war here but if we were in the big East basketball would be fine. It’s sad

If you are ok with killing the football program and becoming DePaul, perhaps you are correct.

I’d kill it if we could be Creighton or Xavier

And, that thought process in Memphis (since the 1970's) is why we are where we're at right now.
