Again, the upper tier deciding not to play the lower tier will only

work for only the sports where the upper tier has enough participating teams. That isn't the case for all the sports sponsored by the power conference schools. If you go through all 30 or so sports currently sponsored at the DI level, then you will see there are quite a few sports (at least half the last time I checked) where the power conference schools are in the minority of participating teams for that sport.

AAC Commissioner on anti-playoff expansion arguments -- OU_Sooner 02/15/2022 10:24AM

IMO, ACC is just using leverage to get what we want -- Truthahn 02/16/2022 12:48PM

He needs to talk to Troy Dannen, his rep on the Transition Committee -- daveinop 02/15/2022 1:15PM

Regardless of the model, it all about the $$$$ I am sure every commissioner -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 02/15/2022 1:11PM

We all want more money, but there is no way we should gift the SEC... -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 5:26PM

If the P5s are in favor of the 5+1 model and then take the position that -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 6:25PM

They deserve more money, but not disproportionally more than everyone else ** -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 7:23PM

Why not? The SEC is the best so why shouldn't its slice of the pie -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 7:25PM

Because everyone outside of SEC country hates their guts!** -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 7:43PM

It doesn't change their value. Plus, it could show that the rest of the -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 7:51PM

Either break off the P5 or include G5 w/ 10 Conf Champs 2 at large. Stradle -- Stech 02/15/2022 12:54PM

If the P5 break off, then would it be just for football or football and -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 1:05PM

The P5 will be Major League ⚾️ , the rest will be different minor league ⚾ -- Stech 02/15/2022 6:38PM

That will work for football and basketball, but those aren't the only 2 -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 6:51PM

The other sports spend money, they don’t make money, so it doesn’t matter, -- Stech 02/15/2022 6:56PM

There is no incentive for the minor league teams to play them though -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 7:06PM

Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting, our best recruiting is when we played -- Stech 02/15/2022 7:50PM

Umm, the minor league teams won't benefit that much in recruiting -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 8:00PM

Yeah they will, talk to college coaches, I talk to them frequently. -- Stech 02/15/2022 8:15PM

The coaches don't have the final say though. The presidents and ADs do -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 8:28PM

We will have to agree to disagree if you think the lower tiers won’t play -- Stech 02/15/2022 8:36PM

Kevin Warren's 5+1 suggestion would work fine. -- HOO86 02/15/2022 11:44AM

The 5+1 may not pass the antitrust test though and it definitely -- VTHokie2000 02/15/2022 12:15PM

I like it except I hate seeing byes in post season tournaments. ** -- EDGEMAN 02/15/2022 12:05PM

Not much of the Big East left in the AAC. -- HOO86 02/15/2022 11:47AM

Yes, concur, but sorry AAC - you are irrelevant -- Mercury 02/15/2022 11:53AM
