His predecessor (Clough) started this, it certainly isn't unique to Peterson. Graduate programs also bring in far, far more money than undergrads, which is important when the state slashes the budget every year.
At least you got a nice new undergrad lab building in the center of campus - most...
Which is why you have an auto bid for the best G5 and two more at large bids. Even in a year where two P5 champions are not great, you'd still cover everyone with a legit claim.
ND would count as an at-large in my system, though they should join a P5 conference. The others would be allowed to use the G5 slot if they qualified.
Giving a handout to a mid-teens team is far cheaper than fighting an antitrust lawsuit, though.
I'm starting to suspect we will see a "CFB...
I would say "But Academics!" but the office already showed they don't care about that by adding Louisville.
I'd rather add WVU to get the Backyard Brawl back (and they're a better basketball team), but I don't really care who ACC Member 16 is as long as they adopt a sane scheduling system (aka...
Any expansion past 4 will have to have an auto-bid for the best G5 team or there will be lawsuits. They'll almost always be the 8/12 seed (16 teams is too many even for me).
UCF @ Clemson would have been a pretty fun game this year.
8 teams this year would have looked like this:

The best kids often have 50-75 offers from various FBS schools. Many teams can evaluate talent just fine, but that doesn't mean you can actually get them to show up at your school.
The board is just a rubber stamp for whatever the AD wants anyway. And 3 students makes sense - 1 is a S-A, 1 is SGA, and I don't know about the other.
