70 or 80 schools in a superleague seems too high when more than half the teams have no legitimate shot of playing for a title.

not sure what you’re saying. 1 power 5 team has ever gone unbeaten and been left out. And the playoff is going to 12, that will never happen again.

True, most teams aren’t good enough but
By that logic the lions haven’t been playing for the title for the last 50 years

Superleague makes it sound like a league of elite teams. Clearly, there aren't that many in the elite or potentially elite category.
 


An idea I had for NIL was to have a soft NIL cap as well as a hard player cap. You’re allowed to have a max amount of players and can spend up to the soft cap on that amount of players but if you choose to spend more NIL than the soft cap you must reduce the number of players on the roster. Would limit the depth schools with deep pockets have and help to even the playing field. Just a thought. Opinions on this?

This is a proposal that has actual details
The actual details include 70 permanent members and 10 rotating members

I take it you don’t like the proposals name?

It is illegal unless it is collectively bargained
 



Seems like the proposal is just for football.

Why would the Big Ten, SEC, or any conference allow its members to just walk out the door for football only and take 80% of the conference TV deals value with them to some other entity?

“What choice do they have?”
Simple: if you leave in football, you’re out in all sports.

Don’t think this CST can keep its model alive, or even want to attempt it, in all other sports.

The big ten and SEC currently aren’t taking meetings. This proposal is DOA
 

Would be curious to know which college presidents were proposing this. Guessing not Bug Ten or SEC ones
 

The more you make college football like the NFL ... the more you're competing with the NFL and you're going to lose that competition ...

And relegation is just a recipe for schools bankrupting their programs, it's happening in soccer already in the UK.
 




They need to slow down and let the 12 team playoff settle before jumping to more changes. Get NIL and the portal corrected before announcing more changes to leagues and playoffs.
 

D3 streaming beginning to look more appealing all the time.
 



Again, just don't see this happening. That super league would fairly quickly matriculate back to the norm where there would be a small number of regularly really good teams, a big middle of OK teams, and another small number of regularly bad teams.

Expand the playoffs to 24 or I could care less. Only way to have somewhat of a variety of teams from year to year. Otherwise, here is your 12 team field virtually every year:

SEC: (4) Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas
B1G: (4) Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, USC (Oregon some years)

ACC: (1) Florida State (Clemson some years)
B12: (1) Should be somewhat wide open which is fun.
G5 : (1) Representation should vary.

12th team: Notre Dame or 5th SEC team

Hard pass on that monotony...

Except Washington last year, TCU the year before that, Cinci the year before that…
 

What’s the point or relegation for the g5 schools?

Texas is going to become an every year playoff team suddenly? They have zero track record of this ever. They have a 54% winning perncantage in the big 12 since 2010. They are a slightly better version of the Nebraska hype machine. They have a long ways to go to prove that they are a helmet school. ESPN wants them to be no doubt.

You do realize that USC has finished the season ranked in the Top 25 about 50% of the time over the last 15 years. Basically, they have been inconsistent since the Pete Carroll cheating days.
 

Not sure how relegation will work with free agency every year.
