Essentially, they have total control over FBS and the G5 have no say at all - and they really don't even need to have consensus among the P5 to enact changes. They only need 4 of the 5.

Ultimately that is not going to work. An "association" where some members have zero power to represent their own interests even if they all vote together....can't last.
