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...

"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.

that's just the same as pro football, which I don't care about at all. College football's march toward suicide is quickening.

Wall St. & Silicon Valley (banksters) running college football...what could go wrong?

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

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.

I think I'd have to bail put on that. A professional college league? No thanks. I'm having trouble enjoying the husk that still exists from what I used to enjoy so much.

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

Just call it what it really is: Semi-Pro Football

Semi-Pro? Seriously? These mercenaries are being payed to play, allowed to transfer on a whim. They ARE professionals and do not represent our schools, nor do they even care about our schools. There is no honor and no pride in these players hearts. I am done with college football. Will probably give up on college baseball too.

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

CanebreakCajun•15 months

At that point, I would be done with CFB.

genuineLSUtiger•15 months

I’m already pretty much done. Used to be the highlight of my fall.

The “love” of MONEY
The “root” of all evil.

Seems I’ve read this in a very wise book somewhere

College football is downward spiraling into shite!

You know what College Football most desperately needs to preserve the purity of the game? You guessed it: MORE MONEY. *sigh*

"Spearheaded by former Disney executives-turned-investment professionals"

Uhh, no. We good.

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.

"Tiers revenue distribution," huh? Let me guess, those guys are all Texas alums?

Tasseo•15 months

Sounds like a lot of State Reps will need to get their cuts before this has any chance

AUbagman•15 months

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

Maytheporkbewithyou•15 months

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

Ponchy Tiger•15 months

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.

Drizzt•15 months

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
