According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, a group of "investment professionals" have proposed an endeavor referred to as "Project Rudy" - a college football super league with 70 teams that will keep the current four power conferences (ACC, SEC, Big Ten and Big 12), while expanding the postseason, overhauling the scheduling process and changing revenue distribution - all while adding a whopping $9 billion in external private funding into the system...
quote:

"Spearheaded by former Disney executives-turned-investment professionals, Project Rudy is a super league-esque concept — separate and more simplified than the one made public last week — that incorporates football programs of the four power conferences in a 70-team structure. The model preserves the four power conferences, expands the postseason, overhauls scheduling, tiers revenue distribution and, most importantly, infuses as much as $9 billion of private capital cash into the system," Dellenger wrote.

A playoff system in college football is the beginning of the end.

Letting the pedophiles who have run Disney into the ground take over college football seems like a bad idea.

If Disney people are involved I hope it's DOA

No thanks. College football is already fricked up enough with NIL and unlimited transfers.

Tiers revenue? Uhhh…what? That’s what destroyed the Big 12 and is good about the SEC. Equal rev share.

As if I needed more reasons to watch even less than I do now.

The “love” of MONEY

Aren’t the players a little too old for the Disney execs?

Anything hatched from Disney's brain trust is inherently evil. Hard pass.

I have no issue with the concept but let the leagues and school Presidents come up with. Last thing they need is that damn mouse designing it.

NCAA is an unchecked, totally arbitrary entity that can do whatever they want to any college if they feel like one of their arbitrary rules have been violated. At least in this case, money and shareholders can power check the rule makers if they see things are not making the fans happy.

I'd likely start consuming FCS games instead a new pro league.

How about 1 bribery money league and one league playing for love of the game and their school.

I actually hope they go this route because it'll be easy to be done with College Football at that point. Save myself a ton of money on season tickets, parking, etc.
