Before we bend over and relegate ourselves to FCS, the G5 needs to do a better job of fighting for a landscape that is more palatable to low revenue athletics departments. The Power conferences have worked to gain autonomy in rule making, the Group of 5 should try as well. G5 teams should fight to for their football teams to become exempt from Title IX and cut "non revenue" sports. This would not be popular, and honestly I don't know how I feel about this myself, but it might be necessary. 

Outside of that, the G5 needs to thin the herd of small market, low ceiling teams, and coalesce into fewer bigger regional conferences.  Lets do that before we create another D1 football subdivision that nobody will really care about.

You tell me how liberal universities are going to fight against Title IX in today’s cultural climate, all for the benefit of their football programs, but not have the Power Teams get that same benefit...that doesn’t even remotely sound possible.

Worse.

Not even sure what this would fix.  Is your supposition that we spend so much on Title IX sports that if we could recover those costs and spend then on FB instead it would fix our gap with P5 teams?  We don't have a costs issue, we have a income issue.  

Even worse: It would turn GENERAL public opinion against us, and using pressure from the GENERAL public is what we need to fix this.  I talk with G5 fans all the time who seem to think the solution is getting COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS to realize that the G5 is getting screwed and that will lead to pressure to fix the system.  The average college football fan is just fine with the G5 getting screwed.  The P5 successfully boiled the frog.  Little by little they have turned up the inequality in the system and the frog never jumped.  

The general CFB will never force the NCAA to change the system.  Has to be the general public.  They are the only ones who can pressure the NCAA or state legislatures to do something.  We'll turn them all off if we do something like try to kill Title IX.

I agree completely--just to reiterate, that's not my idea, I was just responding to the poster who felt that G5s should argue against Title IX for our level ONLY.
