OT: College Football's Biggest Paycheck Losses This Year

It reflects how the decent G5 schools are not really overmatched against the bottom half of the P5 conferences. As I've been postulating, the perennially good P5 schools are very happy to have so many bad conference members who inflate the W-L record, let the stars and first team rest, and allows playing time to develop your reserves and younger players.

That's why it's hilarious when folks accept the premise that the next/final expansion will be based on which G5 schools have the best records. Becoming P5 makes you good, what with a big boost in revenue, access to 4 and 5 star recruits, a chance for the national championship, and ranked schools forced to play at your stadium. And if you can't win with all those advantages, your conference mates don't even care much. Ask BC, Syracuse, Kansas, Cal, or Oregon St.
