The P5's will continue to push to lock out the non P5's with rules and policy while the money they make will continue to separate them. A lot of those schools are making $25mm now and the contracts push much much higher than that by the end. It will be way to hard to keep up. The P5 will eventually be paying much more than a $2,500 stipend and offering much better benefits.
At some point though there is a bubble that will burst. Nothing goes up in value perpetually.
Home values! Just keep pumping money into bad mortgages, and if that fails, we could always go with dot.com startups.
And then move into gold.

Here's the thing, the radio hacks keep saying that if BYU wants "access" they should go back to the MWC. Sure, access to an NY6 bowl is easier there. But unless BYU were to be the NY6 team every year, they actually lose money by being in a conference. Why go from roughly 12 million a year to 6?
