Not quite. There are a few posters on here born before 1953

Here's a bit on how the ACC might handle it - relevant as they have 14 as well: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/33899589/acc-mulls-3-5-5-college-football-scheduling-model-effort-scrap-divisions
Would have to think our 3 would be ULL, ULM, ASU
Not going to lie, this makes so much sense. My OCD loves the symmetry.
It makes me sad that Rice made the big 12 in this and not us. I get it but come one. (hell even USTA makes more sense)

I’m more upset about the College of the University of North Texas making it.

I’m pretty sure they give Rice a pass to the Big whatever due to their history with the SWC.
So when this happens, and TXST isn't in w/ the big boys, how many of you are going to be losing your shit, and how many of you are going to be cool w/ whatever the G5 turns into?

I’m completely cool with it. We are pretenders to be where we are at present.
Im completely fine with the top 30 or so P5s breaking away. I just hope we stay above the current FCS and I dont want anymore FCS moveups to happen unless they're the Dakota States or Montanas.

To a degree I’m torn about not being in the top division, but at the same time I know that we’re never going to be at the same level as the top P5 programs (UT, Alabama, etc.). I agree with the quoted sentiment, and hopefully we‘ll be back on a winning track to be an actual contender for a national championship again.

I have mixed feelings about it. Schools grow and change over time. Many of the best power 5 programs weren’t shit 40 years ago. Meanwhile, teams that are barely on the radar now won multiple national championships in the earlier years. If you create a system that doesn’t allow for mobility, I think you cut off a lot of donations at lower level schools.
Texas state is never going to be Bama, but I do think we could move up through the ranks over the next few decades….. with proper management and fan support. If you create a mini-NFL with paid players and some other poverty conferences, I think you kill all of that upward mobility potential. NIL has already started this process.

It really sucks for none football sports. If it shatters the current March Madness or baseball format then I will hate it. If it is like DI is now and FBS/FCS all on the same "level" for oly sports then I am fine.
It would also be annoying if teams the don't deserve to move up and ride the wave by simply being in P5 conferences. Looking at most of the ACC, the MS schools, Vandy, half the PAC 12, and the new Big XII teams plus a few existing members.

It sucks that football dictates all of college sports. And that every single rule change benefits only the top 5% or so of those programs.

Yep here's you Alabama...many millennials and younger think that Alabama has been Goliath or had money out the wazzoo every single season back to the beginning of time. 14 seasons just in this stretch of time with more than 3 losses, my dad an AU grad and basketball player there in the late 60s tends to remind folks. Yes Bear Bryant often thought of as one of the best CFB coaches of all time had 4 seasons with more than 3 losses.
