More realignment would help the MAC. Memphis, UNLV, USF, SDSU into a P4 would serve to provide less competition for the 2 playoff spots leaving them for lower resourced programs.

If it's good for programs to be at the lower tier and there's been so much progress, why is every program in the world (outside of the MAC) doing literally everything they can to pitch themselves to bigger conferences?

You think Memphis and Texas State et al are doing that because the landscape is improving for the G5?

They're trying to find room on the lifeboat. You seem to be pulling up a chair and enjoying the band because the Titanic is unsinkable.

I think in a few cases programs can hang with the bigger dogs. Miami Fl in the Big Ten. Florida Sate in the SEC. Memphis in the Big 12. UConn in the ACC. Texas State in the PAC-12. In most cases however moving up will place you over your head because of increased NIL spending.

A MWC or lean SBC situation with a little more TV revenue and strength is about all Ohio can realistically handle without deep athletic pockets. So if the P4 seperate some day who really cares? I'm not sure how staying in our weight class is a bad thing athletically.
