G6 playoff gaining momentum

[AtlAppMan]

When we have average lineman leaving and getting paid you know the market is frothy.

The third string QB at Wake was paid $75k this season and never saw the field

So ask him, in retrospect would you rather take $75k ( less agent fees and taxes) to bust your butt in practice and ride the pine or start or get playing time on field for a solid G5?

If you’re a gamer, make plays on a G6 team and multiple that by 4-5 the next year.

Reinventing the FCS is a terrible idea.

Energy of this thread is all wrong. The fight should be for regulation around nil and transfer portal, not a g5 playoff.

It’s a huge slap in the face to all of us who were on the team/worked with the team during the transition era to reach the highest level of football to give up now.

Out of curiosity, why would the powers that have control - and also happen to be rich - and wildly benefit from this new system....agree to regulate it? Why would they agree to increase parity?

I'm not against your thought process, I'd just like to know why you think this would be a possibility and if so, how?

The problem is that none (or very few) of these kids ever think they are going to be riding the pine. The competitor in them thinks that they will work their way into playing time. Bigger is perceived as better, same reason we always lost recruits to P4-programs. Now you add real money to the kid and it is a no brainer. A lot of college grads don't make 75k their first year out of school, this kid was making it in school. I doubt there are many out there that would turn it down. A full ride to an outstanding scholastic college with great alumni base for post grad job opportunities AND 75k large on top of that. Yeah, I don't see many turning that down.

The easy answer is for the benefit of the sport, although that does not seem to matter to those in charge. I will say, they have already agreed to more parity just by increasing the playoff field. The SEC had a strangle hold when it was the BCS and then 4 team, all the best recruits went there and the titles were amassed. By opening it up, it has given more schools an opportunity to compete with the SEC for titles. Add in NIL and transfer portal and parity numbers increase even more. This year there were at least 10 teams that could compete for the national title, you couldn't say that 10 years ago.

True. I guess I just have no faith in any of them to make a decision for the betterment of the sport, given what we've witnessed the past 20 years. Even the addition of the playoff field is, from what I can tell, purely revenue driven.

The only way this changes is if enough people lose enough interest and revenue starts to drop. I do believe that the G5 will lose fans and revenue. I’m not so sure about the P4, too many “Walmart” fans who don’t care about who’s on the team. I’m not sure the loss of revenue in the G5 will cause enough pain for the powers that be to fix this crap.

Baseball and basketball have some forms of luxury tax that theoretically helps smaller markets compete but many of those lesser teams really use that money wisely. I really can’t see any true regulation that will help G5’s. I agree with the above- what’s their incentive unless forced to do something.
