That's a lot of times. I don't think a conference championship, a couple of

marginally better opponents per season, and an "upgrade" from the Poinsettia Bowl to one of these bowls:

– AutoNation Cure Bowl vs. Sun Belt
– Boca Raton vs. Conference USA
– Birmingham Bowl vs. SEC
– Hawaii Bowl vs. Mountain West
– Frisco Bowl vs. Sun Belt
– Military Bowl vs. ACC
– Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl vs. Conference USA

is really 1000x better than the status quo. Especially when you take the downsides into account.

New Conference

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 12:08pm

I'm not so down on UNLV because if location

SouthernBlueBlood

9/20/17 12:09pm

UNLV wouldn't be a bad University

DaddyCoug

9/20/17 12:15pm

Would be a good spot for BB and FB conference championship games.

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 12:17pm

Which we always complained about UNLV's home court advantage when we were in the MWC

byukirty

9/20/17 1:30pm

There are so many big markets in this conference though it could be in

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:35pm

Also playing in the new NFL stadium would be fun

franklyvulgar

9/20/17 12:18pm

Add Zags and Wichita State as BB members only. Crazy good BB conference then.

BamaCoug

9/20/17 12:33pm

I honestly think Gonzaga is content dominating the WCC. They wouldn't have much

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:14pm

As long as the dominate they are good- but long term you e got to fear dips in a small conference

SouthernBlueBlood

9/20/17 1:21pm

And Air Force football only.

I'd like to see some stats on the schools you chose and how this conference woul

9/20/17 12:38pm

The fact is this conference would get the G5 NY6 bowl bid every year, therefore

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:20pm

I'm not sure. How do they compare to the P5 conference? Do you have any stats behind that?

RSLCoug

9/20/17 5:05pm

I think a couple more should be added to make it 14.

9/20/17 1:29pm

Pick two: USU, Western Michigan, Northern Illinois, Marshall, Tulsa, Tulane, SMU

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:34pm

No, keep it at 12, none of those schools make any sense

therock

9/20/17 1:38pm

The reason I left them out. You could maybe plug one in for Navy or CSU

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:42pm

No, keep it at 12, allow for the addition of the Big12 castoffs

Dissenter

9/20/17 1:46pm

You lose 2 of your best basketball teams if you drop those two

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:58pm

I'd say Navy and CSU are the first to go

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:59pm

Just say NO to Baylor

ManicBlue

9/20/17 2:35pm

I mean, yes... but they're a big name

Dissenter

9/20/17 2:45pm

Uh .. disagree on them being a 'big name'. If so, for the wrong reasons.

ManicBlue

9/20/17 4:25pm

They're easily a bigger program than SDSU or UCF or even Kansas

Dissenter

9/21/17 12:31am

I definitely wouldn't say 'easily' besides their recent success is

ManicBlue

your 'source' proves my point

Where each school's market ranks:

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 1:52pm

I wonder if there is a digital market metric for each school?

PJMort

9/20/17 2:06pm

I may be wrong but I'd think Navy would be more Wash DC than Baltimore.

ManicBlue

9/20/17 2:33pm

They're only an hour away (Baltimore and Annapolis) but you may be right

ChairmanOfTheBoard

9/20/17 2:37pm

Probably pulls from both markets actually

ManicBlue

9/20/17 4:26pm

I would take Air Force in over Colorado St.

9/20/17 2:38pm

This is the type of creative thinking the AD(s) should be working on.

blackshirts

9/20/17 2:44pm

This is literally the 1000th rehash of this on the board. If it ain't P5 it aint

TaiJuan

9/20/17 2:46pm

Wrong, this is 1000x better than indy!

russkiejedi

9/20/17 4:01pm

Would be nice to have Air Force. SMU and Fresno St. also deserve consideration.

And then what? Be a G5 superconference that would only increase the strength of teams that don't

Refugee

9/20/17 2:59pm

The P5 total numbers will probably go down when it goes to Super-P4.

blackshirts

9/20/17 4:12pm

I think 4x16. Makes so much sense for a built in playoff.

Refugee

9/20/17 4:56pm

nobody is getting cut...it would be a $100M lawsuit

Nat Gas Man

9/20/17 4:59pm

There are 64 P5 now.

9/21/17 9:16am

I'd vote for a 16 team league with two 8 team divisions for football

BYU Fan

9/20/17 3:20pm

And then make it a power conference

byublue96

9/20/17 3:36pm

well that is never going to happen

Nat Gas Man

9/20/17 4:21pm

I used to be so against this but I could see it come to this eventually

DanSmith

9/20/17 3:48pm

The G5-ers have come out of the woodwork!!!!!

9/20/17 4:33pm

This eerily reminds me of the WAC-16 debacle; not so sure this is a good idea

insidebyu

9/20/17 7:00pm

But much better teams

Marginally, if at all. (Speaking of football)
