It begs the question of ‘What do the Group of 5 and the PAC-12 have in common???’
One possible answer may be, ‘The need for a National TV Audience AND the dollars that come with it’.
Soooooooooo..... on another topic, I heard where the University of Houston is taking a ‘new twist’ or ‘new application’, depending on one’s perspective, of the 4 game redshirt rule. Seems a couple of Seniors, who are starters and good players, have ‘decided’ to sit our the remainder of this season in order to gain another year of eligibility next season..... there is speculation both are doing so because the Cougars have gotten off to a rough start this season at 1 and 3, and believe that next season’s team will fare much better.
