Super League is coming

I don’t think the major football programs want this much chaos. I think they are going to create a new organization that will put structure to NIL and portal. This much disruption is bad for their business especially if schools like Jackson State start taking their talent. I predict this will not going back where it was but will settle with a new system that creates some order.

the NCAA is a nefarious, worthless and toothless entity, so eliminating them from the equation for something better wouldn't be bad thing.

Major college football programs are the ones who voted for this. This is the way it is going to be embrace it or not up to you

Don’t think that is true. I think it happened because there was no organization with leadership to get ahead of it. NCAA wasted their time fighting NIL which was always a loosing case. Then when they lost they had no guardrails in place.

The NIL is a cluster, and will be gone within 2-3 years.

I can see a lot of fraud cases that will impact the players. There should be national legislation to eliminate fraud from running wild from state to state. If not, the big losers will again be the players.

Texas and Oklahoma getting out in front of it

Unless the ACC, PAC and B1G smart attorneys figure a way out of this mess, I agree.

I'm hoping they lose over half their viewers..The way it's going, I can honestly say that I don't care as much about college football today as I did 5 years ago...It's being ruined over money, and that's for the players and the coaches

I think it's coming and I think Clemson will join.
When OU and Texas join the SEC it going to add 30 Mill in revenue .....per school.
S Carolina will add $300 Mill to it's athletic program s in revenue over 10 years.
We can't keep up, we can't make that up with donations. So people are projecting higher like 40 to 50 Mill.
We really don't have a choice. Not enough people watch the ACC.

there is no need for the NCAA, no need for eligibility restrictions, scholarships etc.
just hire the players that you need

How do you put structure on NIL? I’m curious as to how you pull this off without violating the law?

This post title reminded me of the “super league” that European football (soccer) clubs tried to pull off this past year. Money can blind otherwise smart business folks into making arrogant and ultimately stupid decisions. Hopefully if big money college football programs try something like this they are more thoughtful / savvy about it than those clubs were. That stunt was a complete disaster.

Not happening

You seem to forget the only conference gunning for a super league is the SEC. They grabbed UT & OU in that effort. The other relevant conference is the B1G, who has shown zero interest in any such thing. The ACC, Pac 12 and Little 12 have no relevance in that discussion.
Ohio State won't leave the B1G. People need to get that fantasy out of their mind. Neither will any other school in that conference. I seriously doubt USC will leave the Pac 12.
School presidents make the final decisions, not athletic directors.
I don't know exactly how things will shake out. Maybe the NCAA ceases to exist. Maybe the Little 12 folds. Maybe the SEC decides 4 playoff teams is unfair to them with UT and OU joining and pushes the SEC championship game into January to compete with the other major bowls.
Schools will adapt to NIL and the transfer portal. The flak will settle down into something predictable for football programs. In other words, a "new normal" will evolve. Some schools will benefit, others will suffer. For those of us old enough, remember how it was before crazy coaching salaries and national recruiting? It wasn't the end of CFB.

The NCAA already ceases to exist, they are not part of the discussion.
I don’t know how long it will take and I don’t know what shape it will take, but at some point we will have one governing body / league and that entity will negotiate TV contract contracts with the various media outlets. Much like the NFL. Everything else flows downward from there, i.e. that governing body that signs TV contracts makes the rules.
Question is how many teams are under that umbrella. It might not make sense to have 110 teams, but it would be dumb to have less than 48, no reason to leave money on the table. 48 happens to be a nice number that easily splits into four divisions / conferences, but you could have 52, etc.

Conferences aren't going away
Dec 15, 2021, 5:09 PM

If you are saying the NCAA will be replaced by another front organization, that may very well happen. A "super league" that excludes half or 3/4 of existing FBS programs will NOT happen.
Also, conferences will remain in control. They aren't about to voluntarily cede power to a strong central organization. Forget that. The B1G and SEC benefit from the status quo because of the schools and fanbases they have. They will continue to negotiate their own TV deals while other conferences get less.
Maybe the new front organization will negotiate bowl packages.
There is no chance college sports will have a top heavy, centralized structure when it comes to revenues.
