TL;DR Summary:
The article discusses a proposal for the College Student Football League (CSFL), a reorganization of the 136 FBS schools into two conferences to address the growing divide in college football. West Virginia University President Gordon Gee and Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud support this concept, warning of the possible “implosion of FBS” due to increasing dominance by the SEC and Big Ten, which are considering forming their own 36-school "Super League."
The CSFL plan involves 72 schools (mostly Power 5 teams) forming the "Power 12" conference, with the remaining 64 FBS schools in the "Group of 8." A key feature would be promotion for top Group of 8 schools but no relegation for Power 12 teams. It would also establish compensation for players through a new college football players’ association, making athletes full-time students while paying them directly. The proposal aims to preserve the traditions of college sports while ensuring the financial sustainability of football and other athletics. However, it faces significant hurdles, including securing NCAA approval, restructuring the College Football Playoff, and dealing with existing conference TV contracts.
