Let the G5 complain. I'm expecting we permanently separate anyway. Financial support, recruiting et al. is imbalanced across the sport (to an extent even within P5), but is so severely imbalanced between P5 and G5 that they really have no business sharing a stage. More yet, the P5 can't kowtow to the G5 without embracing an anticompetitive philosophy. That's because, to date, the G5 hasn't been excluded from the playoff on bias; it's been shut out on merit. Saving a G5 seat would always make for at least one P5 sacrificial lamb. Which is unfair (wah-wah, I get it), but this time it's unfair in an anticompetitive way. And a permanent schism is an easy -- and also overdue -- fix for that.
