If that is the case people will stop watching. Not saying a Super League will not happen. I am saying it is a mistake to think it would have wide appeal. If you want what is best for the sport you need to be inclusive. You also would be ruining the other sports.

Fans of non Super League teams and casual fans are not paying for a Peacock subscription to watch Wisconsin play Florida. They aren't going to renounce their current fandom and adopt a school as their new team to follow. Which means this Super League will have competition for viewers. People do not watch College Football because of the quality of play. They watch it because of their affiliation with their alma mater and/or home state team.

On top of that schools in the Super League will lose support. Look at FSU's attendance the prior few years, and they weren't even that bad. If a schools is projected to be 4-8 do you think those fans will show up to games? Or pay for a Paramount Plus subscription for a year? These are schools that think 10-2 is a down season. You need ditch diggers to keep overall interest. parity is a bad thing for the sport, it isn't the NFL.

Again I am NOT arguing we aren't heading this way. I am saying it is a giant mistake for the sport. It would be better to have 2 x 30.
