Again, ask BYU.

P5 is worth easily well over $100 million a decade at minimum.

Ask yourself this question, do you really believe Boise would be in a P5 conference had they just won a national championship? Because two BCS bowls in three years is what? Small time?

A national championship guarantees you nothing beyond the one title, the one big payday, the one crystal football. Don't get me wrong, all those things are great, but suppose you win that title and over the next decade you make a few more major bowl games, but never get back in the playoff and at the decade you take a step back and end up 6-6 and a decade removed from your title. And no other sports have reaped the benefits, your MBB team has made one NCAA tournament and two NIT appearances.

P5 membership at the end of the decade you've brought in well over $100 million, maybe over $200 million and your MBB team has made three NCAA tournaments and 5 NIT's.

The P5 invite is worth exponentially more in guaranteed tangible benefits.
