This part is dead wrong.

First, the current CFP agreement, that expires in three years, requires unanimous vote to change the CFP.  The next agreement is a blank slate for all conferences.

Second, the "autonomy" is in the NCAA bylaws. While a committee can recommend that changes, it has to go through the same formal amendment process as any other bylaw change.

Sure the playoff requires unanimous vote to change the format but Autonomy status clearly does not.  No way the majority of the remaining P4 will allow a new conference of G5 merged teams to retain autonomous status..........

 

"For legislation to be passed through autonomy, the Power Five conferences will select one representative from each of its universities to vote, as well as three student-athlete representatives per conference. Those individuals would cast a total of 80 votes, and an item would then pass in one of two ways. First, if 60 percent (48 votes) of the vote and a simple majority of schools from three of the five conferences support the item, it would pass. The item could also pass if a simple majority of all votes (at least 41) and simple majority of the schools in four of the five conferences support the measure."

Clemson who? I hope they lose every game forever for sending us Jeff Scott.

Meh, these people who post junk about a team having a bad season negating them as expansion candidates have no idea.

It's about how marketable their fanbase is to advertisers, and how much money can be made from them.

Agree, but in general fanbases grow  and become more attractive to advertisers with recent performance success.

Definitely people on the internet just throw things at the wall and certainly Clemson will require more than one down year but some of that actually makes some sense. A winning Clemson does not capture the nation like a winning ND, UNC, UM and FSU does and a losing Clemson captures some of a small state and all of a small town in a small state, plus their logo and colors are ugly. I do think Clemson's appeal is more contingent on winning than the others and I never really thought about it since they have been doing so much of it lately. The take is thought provoking they just overstate the dire nature of it.
