It isn't supply and demand. It's a simple question. How much are P4 schools willing to pay for one tune up game a year that almost guarantees a win?  

 

$5 million is a lot to Akron, but considering TV money it's a drop in the bucket for P5 schools. I would bet schools like Alabama and OSU could get a sponsor to pay the $5 million. 

 

What they can afford is irrelevant to the conversation. Why pay Akron $5 million when they can just pay Youngstown State $500k? They can still get that $5 million sponsorship you speak of, but instead pocket the $4.5 million difference. Perhaps use it to sign a heisman contending QB.

If G5 schools started their own division, even OSU wouldn't be shameless enough to schedule a school two divisions below them. 

 

But then again, I did see the Surviving Ohio State documentary. There seems to be no limit to their shamelessness.

OU in conversations with the Sun Belt Conference?

We’re in the wrong business. We should be driving team busses to away games.

OU's reasoning is sound. Weeknight games are killing the MAC. I hope the other schools reach out to see if there is room for the rest of the league. Maybe this is the start of a meaningful run towards sanity.

OU in the Sun Belt Conference sounds almost as bad as Cal and Stanford in the Atlantic Coast Conference!

Zero truth to this rumor.
