Feb 9, 2018 at 13:39 comment added Glasby @Nick the paper Alavi, Seyed Hassan; Burness, Timothy C. Large subgroups of simple groups. J. Algebra 421 (2015), 187–233 characterizes pairs $(G,H)$ with $G$ simple and $|H|\geqslant |G|^{1/3}$.

Clarified the questions, should be for all $p$, not fixed $p$.

Dec 22, 2017 at 12:37 comment added Padraig Ó Catháin Thanks Nick - this is helpful! I just saw a paper on the arxiv which deals with cross characteristic cases: arxiv.org/pdf/1712.05899.pdf
Dec 19, 2017 at 12:14 comment added Nick Gill I seem to recall that there is a theorem that characterizes the simple groups $G$ which have a Sylow $p$-subgroup with order at least $\sqrt[3]{|G|}$. (This article comes close -- iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1070/SM1982v043n03ABEH002453 -- but I can't access it to check it gives the full details.) Anyway, I believe that the only such FSG's are $PSL_2(q)$ and $Suz(q)$ -- presumably this could be checked reasonably easily using CFSG. My feeling is that this could be used to show that any family of groups $G$ which (asymptotically) satisfies $|G|<p^{3-\varepsilon}$ must be solvable.
