What makes you think ND would join a league

It’s a hypothetical topic. Obviously I don’t think this is a real thing. It’s just a discussion. Calm down

Michigan

I don't know what the criteria would necessarily be, but if it's recent/current success, I think an argument could be made that Michigan might need to be replaced.

While they carry national name recognition, they arguably haven't won a national championship since the 1940s.

"history and relevance"

That eliminates FSU (relevance), Tennessee (relevance..as a Vol fan, unfortunately, this applies), Michigan (relevance), Oregon (history..they've only been on the national scene since 2000's)

Now, who'd you replace those with? Washington, Wisconsin, Texas A&M all come to mind. Just my thoughts.

Michigan
Texas
Tennessee

All have shaky claims for inclusion. Tennessee might get back to being big time at some point, but I don't think Michigan or Texas ever will.

Auburn probably deserves to be in. Wisconsin, Washington, and UCLA, probably deserve consideration too.

1) Michigan won a title (albeit split) in 1997.

2) The European Super League’s likely “core fifteen” is comprised of numerous clubs that aren’t presently living up to the success that one might assume a club of their popularity would experience. Accordingly, any collegiate football super conference would be far more likely to feature Michigan/Tennessee/Nebraska than Oregon/Wisconsin/Utah.

Any team that has won the NC since 1979 should be included.

That something like this would "lock" programs who are in a up cycle like Clemson or Oregon permanently into a level above Washington, Auburn, Miami, Texas A&M or Wisconsin etc for a generation really highlights the problem with all the "super leagues"

You’re biased and you’re ignorant if you believe Texas will NEVER win another national title. It’s Texas. They’ll get one eventually. They have as good or better a chance as A&M.

Michigan? Your claim is likely there. But as I was saying, the resources that UT has, it’s just a matter of time before they strike lightning in a bottle like LSU in 19. All it takes it getting hot one year.

It's not about resources. It's about culture. The University of Texas in 2021 is not the University of Texas that existed even 10 years ago. The students and graduates don't care about football like past generations did. And I think athletic donations are going to steadily fall going forward as the older generation of doners dies off, and the younger ones care less and less about sports.

The same issue will impact pretty much every other program going forward, but UTexas is further along than most, and steaming towards that end faster than most.

Just a matter of hiring the right coach. The real question would be if they get a good one, can they keep him?

You act like it’s impossible to change culture. Texas losing some of their boosters isn’t going to put them so far back that they can’t win again. You’re exaggerating how much support they’re losing. Just watch them have 1 legit season and it’ll all come right back.

I really don't think I am. Texas is changing, and Austin/UT are changing faster than the rest of the state. There's a reason nobody expects UCLA to compete for titles anymore. It's a great school, and a storied program with a lot of history, but it's just never going to be a national powerhouse football school again. And the fans/admin are ok with that.

A&M won't escape this fate either, but we're 10 or 15 years behind UT in this shift. Honestly, if I'm predicting the future, there will probably come a day when Texas Tech is the last real football school in Texas.

I think you might be delusional here. Talk about a team with no relevance in the past 90 years.

It should go back to 81 and make it an even 40 years.
