School presidents in College Student Football League predict 'implosion of FBS'

[alaskanseminole]

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.

Not sure what eventually happens but if the SEC and Big10 add a couple of more teams and divide up it will be even worse in the long run on the other schools imo.

Kinda like their relevance.

Certainly those schools like WVa and Syr feel the heat.... when the music stops, and the chairs get filled they’ll be sitting outside of the money ring. They all see that’s it just the SEC and B1G calling the shots now....and they think breaking up all the conferences is going to hit reset. Too little too late, Emmert and pansy ivory tower college presidents let this get the eff out of hand stonewalling, and now his beast isnt going back into the box

It will never happen (in our lifetimes). The SEC and Big 10 will never give up control.

That being said, at some point and time, we will eventually go to some form of promotion and relegation in order to include the group of 5 schools to get an anti-trust exemption from Congress.

If you listen to Full Ride on Sirius XM, Rick Neuheisel talks about that a lot.

Fair point, but Memphis is on there, and UCF, and Houston. Lots of midgets. Just wondered what the cutoff was.

I'm more of a Jeff and Larry's Comedy Channel guy. But during football season I do listen to the local 1010XL some. Particularly Frangie, he talks the most college.
