College football as we know it is over. The NCAA and Power 5 conferences have decided to bring the Group of 5 with them into a new world of college sports but only on one condition: Start over. Only 60 G5 programs are allowed to continue as FBS members and the maximum teams per conference is capped at 12. G5 conferences must start from scratch in this edition of realignment and select their members through a draft (BYU was not considered for this exercise).
In this three-part series we explore what the reconfigured G5 landscape will look like by having our staff play the role as the five commissioners of the G5 conferences.
