So are you canceling Christmas this year?Bluewyn Gold wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 11:03 amA G5 post-season tournament would have to involve a limited number of schools (2-3 weeks in length at most), guarantee profit for the participants, and garner sufficient eyes via ticket sales and media coverage. Otherwise, what's the point? Also, for Pete's sake, don't insult the public's intelligence by calling it a D-I championship.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:39 amYes, Dooley is probably not the guy that going to seal some type of G5 playoff but put me down for wanting a G5 playoff sooner then later
Anything like the bloated, money-sucking, low-interest FCS tournament would make no sense at all for anyone involved.
Group of Five Playoff?

Re: Group of Five Playoff?
From a Yahoo Sports article on a potential anti-trust settlement in a lawsuit brought by a private party against the NCAA over athlete compensation:
What happens to the Group of Five?
The House case, and any potential settlement of it, focuses on the power conference programs — those athletic departments within the NCAA that generate the most revenue. Kessler, the lead attorney in House, said as much earlier this month during a speaking engagement in Washington, D.C., noting that those schools that cannot afford to share revenue will not necessarily be required to do so.
The settlement would be what several administrators describe as “permissive”: A school does not have to share $20 million with its athletes but the agreement opens the door to give schools the freedom to do so. In a competitive market fueled by the recruiting of high school and college transfers, schools will naturally jockey to offer athletes as much as they can.
Most Group of Five and FCS football programs do not generate a profit, and their athletic departments are often subsidized by university and student fees. There are programs at the G5 level where $20 million in revenue sharing would nearly eclipse their entire department revenue for the year.
“You really have to think about (the Power Four schools) as different,” Kessler said earlier this month. “The reason we get tied in knots is because we conflate those schools who have developed these gigantic independent commercial businesses with the schools who are still just educational institutions with extracurricular activities. When you try to come up with one rule for all, you go crazy. You have to look at the schools differently. For the ones with the money, there is plenty of money to compensate the athletes and share it with the women’s sports.”
Many G5 athletic directors hold such fear that this new revenue-sharing model will put them so far behind that they are at least toying with the idea of holding their own postseason event.
In a new world of revenue sharing, competition between those in the power leagues and those in the Group of Five won’t necessarily end. But the gap between the top and bottom of FBS, already exacerbated in the NIL era, will continue further.

Re: Group of Five Playoff?
Well, there are a lot of proposals being fronted right now, including complete FBS realignment based on geography with a super-league that includes G5 relegation and a separate G5 post-season tournament. No matter, this is going to end up being far better for UD than where we were and on so many levels.
Re: Group of Five Playoff?
Relegation???????
I am not involved in these discussions, but that would be interesting, Nottingham Forest v Sheffield United Saturday, loser most likely relegated from the Premier League. Pretty intense game for a 17th v 19th out of 20 Teams
I would have to assume with relegation comes promotion???
Very interesting idea!!!!!!

Re: Group of Five Playoff?
Agree. It's all up in the air right now and, IMO, not worth paying serious attention to the topic. So many divergent discussions. It'll get sorted out in due time.
I still believe Delaware made the move to reclassify just in the nick of time. There may be less opportunity to do that once the dust settles. At least we're in the game.
