The remaining 22 Division I conferences outside of the Power 5 have joined the Group of 5 conferences in requesting that the NCAA relax its requirements for membership, including the minimum number of sports a school must sponsor and the number of games teams must play. But not all coaches were on board with the initiative.

From reading the article, this is only for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

My concern is that the changed may become permanent. I doubt that would effect FCS schools that much since Title IX would still be in effect, but I can see a lot of the G5 schools dropping most men's sports other than football and basketball.
