Like with his time in Philadelphia, Chip Dip is thinking too far outside of the box. His mouth is moving before he thinks about what it is he’s saying. That plan has about 5% merit and 95% nonsense. Basically no conference means what schools negotiate their own TV deals? Talk about killing college football. Alabama, Georgia, OhioSt, Texas, Oklahoma and a fist full of others get big deals but 90% of the rest get peanuts. Think Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Rutgres, sPitt or the rest honestly are going to survive?
Stick to football Chip, and stay in your lane.
Interesting take on what he is saying. I didn't see it that way.
He stated the idea is to keep the current P5 schools in one division, and the current G5 schools in another, each play for their own Championship. There could still be inter-division play.
The implication there, as I read it, is that there would be commissioners and committees for each to handle scheduling oversight and contracts and equity. The G5s would not be any more left out than they already may be, and the P5s are in as strong a position as they are now, or better, without conference restrictions on scheduling.
We are already at a P4 of supersized conferences, sneaking toward a P3, and intra-conference play will mean that some schools play some others once every 5 years. And as of now, there are not going to be divisions within the conferences. That's a pretty loose affiliation, and not that far off from the affiliation among the whole of P5 anyway. e.g., how often will we play Purdue in the new B1G? How often will Minnesota play Oregon? Outside of maybe 2 or 3 opponents, will anyone care how often certain schools play each other after a couple seasons anyway? Purdue = Wake Forest for me - it's a Penn State game, so I'm excited, but I'm not as energized as I am for certain others, old and new. An Auburn-level opponent, regardless of current success, replacing a Purdue? Sign me up.
Maybe they might match up a couple same-conference teams in a bowl, like the 50s and 60s SEC used to sometimes match up conference opponents in the Sugar or other bowls who did not play each other in the regular season. That seems less than ideal, imo.
In any event, it's a creative thought, good or bad, yet certainly moot in today's reality. But, I like creative, courageous thinking, and now that many traditional aspects of college football are largely in tatters, again for better or worse, what fun stuff can we do with where we are right now? In this scenario, more Auburns, less Purdues (but still with an annual G5 opponent or two) for the Penn States of the CFB world.

in the last traditional match-up. That is Rose Bowl tradition.
Bowl !!
