    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    When you get to "super league" it doesn't matter - you're "made" - no USFL/XFL team is going to replace a bad NFL team & no NCAA team is going to replace a bad "super league" team Maybe... who knows...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Common sense would agree with this - but, also, common sense doesn't care about going 2-10 when you're getting $100+ million TV dollars in the "super league" That's why I think some of these fanbases who have been used to historical success are going to be shocked when their team becomes "mid"...

    New Uniforms Revealed

    This game is going to be several GBs - why can't they include ALL uniform elements for a couple extra MBs? (I know, probably to sell them in DLCs... :rolleyes:) https://clutchpoints.com/new-report-emerges-on-ea-sports-college-football-uniforms

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    I think you're taking things a bit literally - Baker's plan is the beginning of what may become some sort of "super league" or "premier league" of CFB - it is almost certainly going to create a new hierarchy in CFB - who knows what final shape this all takes - but this is clearly the beginning...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Yes This is why there won't be 100 teams in the Super League - this is why Iowa State won't be in the Super League - the bigger conferences/teams do not want to carry water for smaller programs - "Why should Purdue get the same amount of TV $$$ as Ohio State?" Relegation will happen, but...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Everyone - $100 million is not the final number - it's not a cutoff - it's a number shared by a dying organization facing irrelevancy trying not to scare EVERYONE at once, while signaling to those that matter that they don't want to get left in the cold - in the end, the top schools & the...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    A second NFL has existed for over a century & has been wildly successful to the point where you & I talk about online incessantly - they're just making it official now

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    I like your optimism, err, pessimism? But, it seems unlikely this will happen - more & more people are watching college football every year & although ISU gets more eyeballs than they ever have before, the bigger teams are getting way, WAY more ISU will be on TV somewhere, but not on ESPN & Fox

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    The one silver-lining is that some of those "Super League" schools are going to have to get used to losing on the reg - they can't all be 12-0, 11-1 every year - some of these fanbases are going to have to accept that they're the "Iowa State of the Super League" & some of them are going to have...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    This is meant to do the exact opposite - the Saturday AM shows will only be about these teams - you will never hear Kirk Herbstreit mention Iowa State ever again - we will be on Paramount+ - these teams will be on TV every Saturday nationwide

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Correct - the NCAA wants to be hands off - Baker just bent over & said "you guys do whatever you want, we just want a cut of the pie"

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Dude, this not a P4 situation - this is P2, SEC & B10 - Iowa State is not going to be a part of this - this is going to be maybe 40 schools, likely less - this is going to be a very lucrative NFL farm system - under the guise of "amateurism" b/c the casual fan just sees colleges & kids & doesn't...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    This is the beginning of the end - NCAA wants to keep the Power 2 in-house Any school can join this new subdivision, but it's also described as "comprised of institutions with the highest resources"
