They apparently just 3 weeks ago and basically decided to punt for now. There will be more meetings. I've no idea if things can be changed by a simple majority, a super majority, or as I've heard, only by unanimous vote. If it's 1 conference 1 vote, the P4 can't impose its will on the rest by either of those measures.
P5 doesn't exist under NCAA rules. The separation was created because the "rich" was vastly outnumbered/voted on key financial issues they could afford. The "Autonomous 5" was created and they basically get extra benefits and to vote on rulings that are specific to their schools. At last vote there were 80 votes... 65 schools and 3 student athletes from each conference totaling 15.
Obviously that number will change with additions because of the realignment. But, for now the only major change that can take place is how the 12 team CFP is organized. But, that is not under NCAA purview.
The other thing that Power Five meant was that the conference champion from one of those conferences would play in a New Years Six bowl game.
I am not sure what else Power Five gets you beyond that.
