What's this?

P65 is the cut once they break away, it would hurt the TV audience to go

smaller. The TV folks where the big money comes from have no desire to go smaller. I do think a G5 National playoff will increase their viewers, but the P5/4 want 64/65. That’s about double the NFL teams and pulls fans from the more populated states.
