For now…..
But why would the P2 want to share the playoff with the non P2?
they don’t have to. There’s nothing in it for them.
Who do they want in, an 8-4 big brand like Penn St or an 11-1 non brand like SMU.
The ACC contract appears to be iron clad. It's difficult to find a sympathetic judge when your case is basically that the contract you agreed to years ago was unfair. It appears to me that the ACC is here to stay until their present agreement runs out. I just don't think you add 3 programs if you plan to dissolve the conference as soon as possible but that's just me. In addition, besides being a UNT fan I enjoy college sports, and having the opportunity to see ACC teams play in Dallas and Big 12 in Ft. Worth works for me.
Hate to break it to you, but NT has never been able to keep pace with the top tier of teams in terms of resources or overall quality.
Plus if your current competition moves up and you don't than that is moving down not staying in place.
What should happen and I believe will at some point is that there will be adjustments to NIL. No one likes it except the players and their agents. Probably not for decades, but fans will eventually dictate the change. When the fans stop caring because they won't support the new nomads of sports like the teams prior to NIL; there will be changes.
Oh there's no question SMU (along with several others) are not going to be in the Power 2. The point I'm making is there will still be access to a playoff system for the Big 12 and ACC "leftovers". Same will not be true for the G5.
