Gibson is now 0-8 vs JMU, App, Coastal and Ga Southern. That is absolutely unacceptable. @ThunderCast_Pod
If this happens then only the participating schools should split the $200M; imagine what schools like Marshall could do to their roster with $17M from participating in a G6 playoff. Would go a long way in making the CFP the following year.
Sources tell me a G6 playoff would be worth approximately $200 million annually. That’s about $3 million payout per school annually. Given that the average g6 budget is about $21 million. A 14% annual bump would be attractive. I wrote around 2019 that a G6 playoff would be worth $166 million. So a 21% increase in that projection is significant. Nothing imminent but interesting numbers especially with @Brett_McMurphy reporting 2/3 of g6 coaches favor a playoff.

Will continue to monitor.
Rumor includes that they are looking for at least one package partner to go with them, either Miami or Toledo.

have heard a really concrete rumor in the last couple of days that Ohio is definitively looking externally, and conversations are happening. Sun Belt seems to be where they are eyeballing.
I’m not break the news first guy, I hate that stuff but it is solid enough to share.

Too many ADs are selling their teams short with buy game payouts.
It’s not uncommon to see buy games below $1 million.
$2 million+ should be the new minimum, and the entire G6 should be united on this front.

Per sources, Marshall has contacted multiple conferences about leaving the Sun Belt, and have an offer already on the table. They are also not the only ones. Most of the Sun Belt East is looking to jump.
Marshall has inquired about joining the American Conference with JMU.
(per @Schultzycast)
Episode includes the topic of Marshall making membership inquiries to the American.

Well that's not good.
The Sun Belt adopted new exit fees this week, increasing the exit amount from $5 million to a range of $8-18 million that is determined through the notification date of departure, sources tell @YahooSports.
A 27-month or more notice is an $8M fee and it escalates from there.

There is a slew of realignment rumors swirling about after the JMU news.
Schools include - Miami (OH), Liberty, Marshall, Appalachian State, Ohio, Toledo, UCONN, and a few FCS schools like Tarleton St.
Conferences include - American, Sun Belt, PAC-12, CUSA
I am very positive Miami (OH) will move.
Marshall’s smoke appears to have serious.
Liberty & Appy St have rumors, but I’ve been unable to confirm anything about them.
I’ll continue to work on updates.

Back in July, only commissioners from American and Pac12 were invited by the P4 to take part in a PCSA call.
JMU wants to be on that side of the line if an FBS split is coming.
Hopefully @HerdZone can find a way to do the same.
More clarity on attendees: Along with the power league commissioners, the other two conference commissioners represented on the call were from the Pac-12 (Teresa Gould) and American (Tim Pernetti).

Could @MarshalluPres get some Intuit and Amazon sponsorship deals to do the same for Marshall? @American_Conf @GJHJ

If top American teams are looking at a P4 move, hear me out:
I saw a comment on one of @flugempire videos awhile back from someone convinced that @pac12 was going to add Marshall and App. Sounded crazy but after today's news I'd take it if there was a true Eastern wing to minimize travel.
