re: If, big if, conferences play members only season, who will it hurt the most??

Don't think for a second this won't impact the P5 programs because it really hurts them too.

LSU generates around $25 million in revenue for a home game against say a school like Troy State. That's $25 million that is now gone from the LSU athletic budget. We make $25 million whether its Troy State or Alabama per home game so from a revenue perspective losing a Troy State is as important as losing a game against Alabama.
