The Athletic reported on Wednesday that a group of movers and shakers — including multiple university presidents, a key search firm executive and a high-ranking NFL executive — are trying to create a college football super league that would provide a workable path forward (read: less lawsuits) while also not cutting out more than half the current FBS teams. The idea, brought forward by a group that includes NFL No. 2 Brian Rolapp and search firm executive Len Perna, would include all the current FBS programs but would be split into multiple divisions. There would be promotion and relegation between divisions. The league would serve as the employer for the players and would collectively bargain with the players. Andrew Marchand, who wrote The Athletic story along with Stewart Mandel, joins to discuss why they’re going public now and if there is any real chance this might happen. Spoiler alert: The Big Ten, the SEC and the TV networks do not seem supportive. Next, Andy answers your questions: How many college football games in 2024 will have more viewers than the LSU-Iowa women’s Elite Eight game played Monday? Is there a college football equivalent to the way referees call games involving Purdue basketball star Zach Edey? How many games does Kalen DeBoer have to win in year one at Alabama to keep the fanbase happy? And much, much more… Want to watch the show instead?
