Logical next college football step: 80 team super league, salary cap, collective bargaining

I remember being so excited about B1G expansion early on. What a Polly Anna. So naive.

I'm with ya Dwags and will drawn the line when MSU football players are no longer required to be MSU students.

This will save me some money on live broadcast streaming subscriptions. I literally don't GAF about watching anything live that I can't get on my OTA antenna except CF.

If we want amateur college football, we will have to go to places like Adrian.

MSU et al have been the training leagues for the NFL for a long time now, with the money and other issues that come with that.

If one of the things is that there would be unequal revenue distribution, why would most of these 70 teams do it? One of the good things is that the Big Ten has equal slices and Michigan & Ohio State don't gobble up a bigger slice. Why would the have nots in the Big Ten want to switch to an unequal distribution? I think this is similar to the European Super League that got shot down so quickly.

I think some of the new teams to the B1G are not gaining equal shares to start with, not sure though.

Yes I think that is fairly common. Rutgers, Maryland and even Nebraska were getting partial shares for X number of years. It is the same reason why professional sports likes expansion, those fees are spread around the existing teams.
