LOL.

These poor students going to these conferences. To not play in a bowl or playoff.

How will the historic ASUN and WAC schools make any impact in the FBS? I am assuming they make more money somehow. But this is a bubble to pop soon.

Is there any explanation anywhere for why they want to do this?

The following is from the ESPN report on this event:

https://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... ources-say

"The reasoning for the new league is, according to sources, “greater certainty in scheduling and recruiting” and a clear pathway to the highest levels of college football. Also, the schools expect increased revenue through a more lucrative broadcast contract and increased guarantee-game revenue because the games would count toward bowl eligibility if they became an FBS league."

Monday and Tuesday night football.

Of course there will be a mad dash to sign these schools to a multi-million dollar deal just because of tbe FBS level. All this does is to hurry the power 5’s to create their own entity away from the ncaa.
