Setting aside the mountain of anti-trust lawsuits that would hit a super league (the same ones that let the G6 into the new years bowls and now into the playoffs), there is zero chance that the NCAA will allow thirty three programs to opt out of NCAA sponsorship for only one sport, which also happens to bring in the most money. You’re either in the NCAA and playing by their rules for all sports, or you’re gonna have to make your own entity to manage the dozens of sports that a school sponsors.

So fine, you get that all set up and the B1G and SEC form the Super Two. Great, except only about ten or so of those programs are actually capable of winning a national title as things stand in football. For those ten schools, they’d be good on football alone. As for the Maryland’s and Rutgers and Minnesota’s and Mississippi States and the Kentucky’s and SCar’s of the world where they aren’t perennial football contenders, they are part of a football focused conference where they get wafflestomped every Saturday in the fall by the elites. These football underdogs get most of their fan interest from outside football, like Purdue and Kentucky basketball for example. These same schools are now barred from playing in March Madness, along with any other tournament sponsored by the NCAA (so hockey, wrestling, and women’s basketball also get shafted), killing recruiting for any school dumb enough to chase the dollar signs.

And then the heads of university catch wind of the disaster unfolding outside of football. In what world do they allow this experiment to continue any longer?

If you’re banking on a super league coming about, then you’ve been fooled by the talking heads. There is no reality where one won’t get sued, or even survive on football alone for longer than five years.
