Creating a Separate College Football “Super League”
- Several college presidents and top sports executives proposed a new football “super league,” separate from the NCAA and any of its conferences, that would consist of 130-plus FBS universities, with only the top 70 programs earning permanent spots in the league. The league would have seven 10-team divisions, with the remaining 50-plus FBS teams in an eighth division.
- The new model would also establish a single entity that would negotiate with a potential union which would aim to advocate for players’ interests regarding NIL, transfer portal regulations, and salary structures, thus opening the door for direct athlete compensation.
- Moreover, member universities would own a percentage of the league, and revenue distribution would not be evenly split among the schools. Therefore, prominent brands like Alabama and Notre Dame would receive a greater percentage of the league’s generated revenue.
"Wild Wildcats in the NFL" certainly sparks interest! Mike McDaniel highlights the complexity beyond mere stats regarding the backup quarterback battle. It's about assessing opportunities, learning curves, and coachability. This perspective underscores the importance of continuous improvement and adaptability, crucial qualities in any competitive environment, including the NFL.
Who has he not mumped over at this point?Putin?
The Big XII is reportedly after Duke as it sets its sights on further conference realignment. In an attempt to continue boosting its already booming basketball resume, the league appears to be targeting a Top 5 brand in all of college hoops.

Gees, what the hell is going on with his eye?! Also, does he have something stashed under his shirt? Must say he's got good taste in fashion. LOL
... the new revenue-distribution model is heavily weighted toward the Big Ten and SEC. In the past structure, the five major conferences mostly split 80% of the CFP’s $460 million in revenue evenly.
The Big Ten and SEC will combine to earn about 58% of the CFP’s base distribution (29% each). The figure would greatly exceed the ACC and Big 12’s combined distribution number, which is expected to be around 32%. The ACC will get 17.1% while the Big 12 receives 14.7%. The remaining amount (roughly 10%) will be distributed to Notre Dame and the 64 Group of Five teams.
The difference in distribution between the two sets of conferences — SEC/Big Ten and ACC/Big 12 — could exceed $300 million. The Power Two stand to earn a combined figure that should eclipse $700 million, far more than the ACC and Big 12’s number of around $400 million. Roughly $115 million is slotted for the Group of Five.
With the increase in the ESPN distribution, no school’s revenue will decrease. Major conference schools currently receive about $6 million in distribution from the CFP. The SEC and Big Ten schools will see their annual distribution triple if not quadruple into the low $20 million range. ACC and Big 12 schools are set to see a more than doubling of their previous amounts. Independents UConn, Washington State and Oregon State will get a small portion.
Notre Dame, one of the sport’s historical powers that retains its seat in the CFP governance structure, will see its distribution double to $12.5 million annually — with a caveat that includes a financial bonus. The four independents are eligible for a performance-distribution payout. If Notre Dame or other independents qualify for the playoff, they each receive a flat fee of $6 million.
Notre Dame is also the only major conference school that will not sustain a financial impact of losing multi-million dollar payouts from bowl contracts. The SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC all leave behind lucrative bowl tie-in contracts with the Rose, Orange and Sugar Bowls specifically.
