| FTBL There is some buzz here at the @CFBPlayoff spring meetings about the idea of a Group of 5 postseason tournament.

Derek Dooley is pitching them on private equity.

I find this interesting. If this goes through it'll be a fundamental change in G5 football in a variety of ways. What strikes me is thinking about his dad. Vince was at UGA when they, along with OU, were in front of the SOCUS in their anti-trust lawsuit about television broadcasting.

IF this happens that family will have had a monumental impact on the game: if it hasn't already.
 
If you think ESPN is a bloodthirsty bunch, cast your lot with private equity...finance around and find out.
Then there's the possibility of never ending sponsorship. How many different equity firms would 'jump' even after seeing one fail before them? Money and collegiate sports are strange bedfellows; but loyal to each other.
