I'd guess they're not worried about losing student seats
can charge more for the alumni

Inside the college football ‘Super League,’ one powerful group’s idea to fix a ‘dead’ system - The Athletic

One league overseeing college football’s highest level. No more conferences as we’ve known them. Playoff berths being decided solely on the field. Promotion and relegation for smaller schools. Players being paid directly. NIL and the transfer portal, managed.

A group of influential leaders wants to make all this happen soon — and they are pitching it as the best way forward for a sport they believe needs saving.

Some good, and some bad in all of this. Mostly bad.

One league - OK with me I guess.
Playoff berths on the field - OK depending on how.
Relegation - This is fine with me.
NIL and portal being managed better (?) - I like this a lot.

On balance it sounds good to me depending on details.  NFLization is inevitable, resistance is futile.

Bad:

Unlike the soccer league, the revenue distribution would not be an even split among all competitors, as top brands like Alabama and Notre Dame would receive more of the financial pie.

This is why relegation is impossible in major college football and people really need to shut up about it.

Maybe we should relegate the idea to the garbage heap.

You can't do unequal revenue. You just can't.

I love relegation in English soccer, I really do.  But the business model for major college football is dramatically different than the business model for English soccer.

English soccer is a professional sport, and it is focused on only one sport, one team.  All revenue from operations, goes back to that one sport, that one team.

College football is not actually one sport.  Each university athletic department supports multiple sports, which are all funded by football revenue.  Dynamic/non-stable revenue distribution is something a university athletic department just can't tolerate.  It completely breaks the model.  They need long-term stable, predictable, assured annual revenue input, in order to manage all of the other sports.

The NFL shares equally, correct?

Well the TV rights are shared equally, but I believe stadium revenue is reserved to the individual team, and I'd imagine team-specific branding/IP is also reserved to the individual team.

That would be the situation in college too. Of course, OSU is gonna make more money selling tickets than Northwestern. And Texas more than Vandy. No change there.

The bigger issue IMHO isn't necessarily revenue, but salary cap.

It *MIGHT* be possible to have a NIL/Salary cap by class. I think the schools would LOVE this because as it stands now HS all stars are going to demand boku bucks to come to your school but we all know that plenty of "can't miss" HS phenoms end up as college busts so a stratified cap by class would prevent ridiculous bidding wars for totally unproven (at this level) players. 

I'm thinking something like:
  • $90k for freshmen 
  • $270k for sophomores 
  • $810,000 for juniors
  • $2,030,000 for seniors
