'Super League' Proposal Aims to Revolutionize College Football
A group of college presidents and NFL insiders propose a new league structure to replace the NCAA, sparking debate and skepticism.
- A group of college presidents, NFL insiders, and top sports executives, collectively known as 'College Sports Tomorrow' (CST), is pushing for a 'Super League' to replace the NCAA and College Football Playoff.
- The proposed Super League would feature a two-tier system with the top 70 programs from the five former major conferences, plus Notre Dame and SMU, as permanent members.
- The new league would introduce promotion and relegation, a playoff system without a selection committee, and a players' union to negotiate NIL, transfer, and salary structures.
- Critics argue the plan could undermine the uniqueness of college football and faces resistance from major conferences and TV networks, which have long-term media rights deals.
- Despite skepticism, CST believes the Super League could address legal challenges, NIL and transfer issues, and ensure the long-term sustainability of college football.
