The Top 10 need enough running partners to have a league and make deals and make money. No way they plan on sharing revenue with 70 other programs.
80 came from the proposal in the link.  The number doesn't really matter, the premise is the same.  If the agreements insulate the Top 10 from relegation, then they have no reason to care about the "relegation provision" being in the contract, or not.  Meanwhile everyone outside the Top 10 has a very legitimate concern.  So if the Top 10 aren't going to force it as an issue (and why would they?), then it's not going to make it into the final contract.

I can see we're fundamentally disagreeing here and I'm happy to leave it at that.  

Honestly, I think this debate is nothing more than academic, because I think the sport of college football is going to implode before we can get to any breakaway or super-league formation, anyway.

Tell you what. I’d be just fine if a group of college teams said no thanks, we’re just interested in playing college football and left all the TV and bullshit behind. Pack the stadiums, sell beer for $12 each or whatever, regional rivalries/conferences, real but few bowl games. I sincerely wish A&M chooses that group. Even if it means losing exciting games with longtime rivals and big time programs. 

Whatever money they generate, they keep. And the coaches and AD May only make $100,000 and we may not be able to have 25 different sports. But I think it’d be funnier.

80 teams with relegation (meaning including the other 50 FBS teams who can going to the dream of promotion) is 0% likely no matter what they said.

80 is already too many schools. 

This is just step 1 in negotiation to get enough critical mass before they split in two with far fewer schools.

Like my 60-team proposal some pages back.  This thing looks a lot like mine.  I don't care about a G5 relegation conference, though.  I don't think it matters either way.  80 IS too many, I agree.  It's just to reset expectations.  As it gains traction, fat will be trimmed off.

We have pondered why the NBA is as popular as it is, it's not really basketball.  I think the reasons are:

1.  Habit
2.  Your team happens to be good.
3.  Gambling
4.  Fantasy leagues.

I think those things will keep CFB around in whatever guise.

Live NBA basketball is the perfect sport for someone who has the attention span of a flea.

In that Athletic Article, it says the top 70 are guaranteed to not be relegated. The other 60 or so would be subject to being relegated.

This proposal is going nowhere anytime soon.

I think some of the things in that article may happen, maybe not "soon".

One thing about NBA coverage Vs NFL coverage-

NFL coverage in most of its forms - pregame coverage, local radio, postgame, editorial shows - discusses the actual Xs & Os of gameplay. To include things like roster building, offense schemes, key plays. 

NBA coverage, on the other hand, is almost all drama driven. Lavar Ball. Deangelo Russell filming in the locker room. Shannon Sharp beefing with Ja Morant’s Dad court side. Ja Morant’s guns. Draymond Green’s temper. The NBA is framed more as a reality show.
