Also, SEC ADs are writing those school names down so they can schedule 3 straight buy home games against them and they don't have to get the FCS waiver now.

Doubt they have delusions of winning P5 (maybe 1-2 individual schools think they can pull a Boise). But to use UMass as an example we make a ton more money as a doormat in FBS than we did as an FCS title contender. Spend more too, and it sucks being terrible, but money wise it's been the right call.
