G5 conferences will get relegated to the FCS. It is only a matter of time.

The MAC TV deal only pays about $670k per school per year. It's not nothing, but a single buy game can be double that, and the CFP revenue is significantly higher than the TV money, so losing that would be a bigger blow.
Not so fast. Those paydays might dry up as the super conferences move to 10-11 league games. Keeping the MAC viable is in our interest.
If the buy games dry up the ESPN money will not matter. Scraps from ESPN to play on Tuesday nights will not save the MAC as we know it in that event.
