Sonny Dykes predicts future split among P4, G5 schools: 'Alabama and La Tech aren't playing the same sport'
Plus, more financial differentiation might only accelerate the rate at which top G5 players transfer up to play at P4 institutions. “These jobs are even harder now because if one of your players has a great season, he’s probably getting plucked away,” Dykes said. “Your only chance is to build a great culture and hope that keeps most of your roster intact.” And for Morris, the question then becomes about keeping the G5 teams relevant and thriving if they’re more formally in the second class of college football nationwide. link: https://www.on3.com/news/sonny-dykes-predicts-future-split-among-p4-g5-schools-alabama-and-la-tech-arent-playing-the-same-sport/ -

Morris signals it is over
I can see how it looks similar, but I would say that with today's landscape, it's a different world. It's one thing playing against schools with larger budgets, but when you start having your best players picked off year after year when they can get paid, it adds a variable that Dickey or other coaches in the past never had to deal with. He did not have to deal with the fact that schools could pay players to be practice squad members more than most G5s can afford to pay players. -

Because you aren’t saying it is difficult to compete, you are saying you have zero chance. It is the same as Dickey saying “I hope President Bataille remembers how much we are getting paid for this game when she looks up at the scoreboard tomorrow.”- 1

You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...
I remember that! I still say “Scrap ‘Em”. I thought it has always been a thing. -

You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.
