More realignment would help the MAC. Memphis, UNLV, USF, SDSU into a P4 would serve to provide less competition for the 2 playoff spots leaving them for lower resourced programs.
If it's good for programs to be at the lower tier and there's been so much progress, why is every program in the world (outside of the MAC) doing literally everything they can to pitch themselves to bigger conferences?
You think Memphis and Texas State et al are doing that because the landscape is improving for the G5?
They're trying to find room on the lifeboat. You seem to be pulling up a chair and enjoying the band because the Titanic is unsinkable.
