Swaim is an utter clown. Stop paying attention to him.

If they were going to do this, I'd vote for a relegation type system.

Maybe 32 teams in the top level and the rest in the second tier.

The second tier could be comprised of conferences with each conference champion being automatically upgraded the next year.

Interest would remain high for second tier schools as they compete to make it to the top tier.

This would require a lot more central control of conference assignments and scheduling.

Yes, he is. Doesn’t mean he’s way off on this one. It’s already pro football but with no rules. A super league allows the schools who want to admit that to create a collective system & those who can’t afford a roster or who want to remain amateur sports to do so.

I'm not opposed to that for football
A lot more avenues to explore for other sports that don't necessarily have to be a super league for basketball, baseball, etc. Those sports could be more regional in order to help them survive and thrive

It's the conference models that are old and antiquated and are just being propped up by mega tv deals

I hope it happens.

Alabama will go, and I will find a new team to pull for and never watch a single fricking minute of the 32 team league.

It will suck in comparison to the past, but it will beat the shite out of this corporate bullshite they are pushing these days. Take the money and run....PLEASE.

frick em all.

Yeah Swaim is a dipshat, but the writing for this has been on the wall since nil. College has needed a new div for a while anyone thinking bama osu uga and western ky or southern miss are playing on an even field is delusional. I think it’ll be bigger than 32 I think it’ll hit 48. It’ll be set up like nfl commissioner and salary caps will be introduced. They’ll have a governing body with teeth and alumni will have to invest in the school/facilities again instead of the athlete

The B1G and SEC are 32 teams right now.

But if you're going to build from scratch.. then the SEC Teams that make the cut would be:

Texas
Texas A&M
Oklahoma
LSU
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Tennessee
Georgia

Arkansas.. maybe? Ole Miss.. maybe?

The day the Saudis invest in college football is the day they can shut the whole thing down.

I don’t watch LIV golf and I sure as shite won’t watch the further decay of college football so they can continue counting dollars.

Just create a minor league football league and take the name off the teams and come up with new names. Anything school related/education wise is a complete joke - just call it what it is - professional sports. Get the schools out of it. Maybe the schools can get back to the purpose of schools - educating people.

1. Ohio State
2. Alabama
3. Notre Dame
4. Texas
5. Michigan
6. Georgia
7. Penn State
8. LSU
9. Florida
10. Texas A&M
11. Oklahoma
12. Tennessee
13. Auburn
14. Florida State
15. Clemson
16. Oregon
17. USC
18. Nebraska
19. Wisconsin
20. Iowa
21. N Carolina
22. Michigan State
23. Washington
24. Virginia Tech
25. Missouri
26. S Carolina
27. UCLA
28. S Carolina

Here's the easy "in" top 20 sorted alphabetically.

1 Alabama
2 Auburn
3 Clemson
4 Florida
5 Florida State
6 Georgia
7 LSU
8 Miami
9 Michigan
10 Nebraska
11 Notre Dame
12 Ohio State
13 Oklahoma
14 Oregon
15 Penn State
16 Tennessee
17 Texas
18 Texas A&M
19 USC
20 Washington

Kinda expect them to stop there and add 5, 10, or 12 later. Would be easier than kicking someone out. Anyway, if it really is 32, here's my guess at 12 more.

21 Arkansas
22 Colorado
23 Iowa
24 Kansas State
25 Michigan State
26 Mizzou
27 North Carolina
28 Oklahoma State
29 Ole Miss
30 Stanford
31 Utah
32 Wisconsin

First 4 out:
1 BYU
2 Pittsburgh
3 UCLA
4 Virginia Tech

You’ve got Kansas St, Oklahoma St, Stanford, and Utah in….. I have Virginia Tech, South Carolina, UCLA, and Kentucky in.

The bottom 6-10 are tough to pick.
