Then every school not in a P5 conference is D-O-N-E. I mean if those 5 conferences could give their athletes an additional  3,000 or 5,000 dollars as a stipend for full cost attendance can you imagine if you were a kid that was under-recruited as  Senior and go to Toledo or UNLV and have a breakout Freshman season after that year. The MAC, Sun Belt, MWC, AAC, WAC, can't financially afford to give full-cost scholarships that would compete with P5 schools because these conferences make at most 2 million dollars a year for TV rights while the power 5 teams make a minimum 10 times more.

A lot of P5 schools would come and offer these kids a chance to transfer to a P5 school and get additional money to play there. That is why I can't see the P5 schools actually getting this autonomy. I mean a school like Rutgers would let the MAC and AAC do all their recruiting for them and then make any kids that breakout after their freshman year the ability to get paid.
