I hope we all stick together and add a few aac teams.
Like it or not, there’s no such thing as the P5 anymore, and there probably is no such thing as even the P4 either. the SEC getting that much stronger already puts the Pac, ACC and Big 10 (though to a lesser degree) that much further below - financially, competitively, and optics-wise. How long until the top PAC and ACC (and Big 10?) teams catch wind of that and decide to act in their “own self interest”? I would say about 15 years at the longest, and likely much quicker.
Regardless, the money train is over for kstate unless/until CFB breaks away and reshuffles the conference/divisional deck. Which feels like a long way off and may not end up being a boon for kstate anyway.
If that’s the case, I’d rather play some other “have nots” I’m at least familiar with - KU, OSU, ISU and the Texas schools.
