Has the one-time transfer rule helped or hurt the P5/G5 divide?Ĭincinnati became the first Group of 5 team to make the Playoff. That’s down to just 3.8 percent one year after the rules went into effect. Last year, 20.7 percent of respondents thought NIL would help the G5. Unsurprisingly, G5 fans see NIL widening the gap between the P5 and the G5. One year in, has NIL been a positive or negative for college sports? You’ll see later that the geographic-focused conferences have the strongest approval of their membership. Perhaps that’s why 65 percent don’t want a G5 superconference, because it might not make a difference. Nearly 80 percent of respondents believe we’re heading toward a consolidation of conferences at some point. Should the top 12-16 Group of 5 schools form their own football conference? How confident are you that college football is heading to one or two superconferences? Conference realignmentĭoes conference realignment make you more or less interested in college sports? So let’s get into the results on realignment, the Playoff and more. We take a lot of pride in our G5 coverage and the fans that want to read it. I posted the survey last Monday and it got more than 1,900 responses, the most ever in three years. Spoiler alert: Sun Belt fans are very, very happy. It’s about rivalries and geographic identity. It’s not about the money as much anymore because everyone realizes the money will never match the Power 5. Conference realignment over the past year has brought into focus what fans of Group of 5 programs care about the most. This year? It’s a mix of pride and acceptance.
