    The P5 is history yes.  Its really a P2 with the Big 12 and ACC a step below.  Ultimately there will be a separation by the members of these conferences from the G5.  It is inevitable. Rest of the conferences (including the AAC) will be siphoned off and will comprise the new Division 2.

    Man , one post,, two posts and on and on and on. Richard Crainium keeps coming back.

    No.  The great difference is these are student-athletes, enrolled in college, that should be trying to get an education and degree, not a paycheck!

    You are right, they should be. What they are doing is getting an education in sport, so they can try to make it to the big time.

    I believe full rides are based on cost of attendance.  At UNT THIS AMOUNTS TO $27,937 for an in-state student.  If we abide by the NCAA restriction of 20/week, a fifty week year would add up to a 1000 hours per year.  Using these numbers, we come up with an hourly wage of $27.94.  An hourly wage this size exceeds the hourly wage of 75% of hourly workers.  In addition to these tangible benefits there are many intangibles associated with acquiring a college education.

    I would guess that it is closer to 50 hours a week at a lot of institutions.

    Did you score four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against our old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon?

    It is going to come down to schools who pay the players and the ones that don't one day.  It is an arms race that not all teams can not compete in.   When this finally happens I think you will see geographic conferences.  The rich will continue to pick up players from the non pay conferences.   

     

    College football is dead and is replaced with semi pro teams.   Sad I dont watch the NFL and I find myself watching less college football games these days.  I will continue to support the Mean Green.

    I thought you were going to say it comes down to who pays for hookers and who kills them. lol
