per CBS:
Comments by a Sun Belt Conference commissioner at the league's media day usually won't generate much attention. But Karl Benson's remarks this week warrant further consideration.
Benson said he wants Sun Belt teams to try to shed their “addiction” to lucrative, nonconference games against heavily favored Power Five opponents. He wants to improve the Sun Belt's chances of having an undefeated team to reach a College Football Playoff access bowl and increase the league's portion of CFP money divided among Group of Five schools.
“This isn't anything new I'm saying, but it's the first time we've had all 11 schools around the table that had been with the Sun Belt for a period of time for stability,” Benson told CBSSports.com. “Rather than playing multiple million-dollar payday games, we're better off to get a return on our investment, so to speak, on the back end by being able to win games against our peer opponents.”
