Amazon, Apple, CBS/Paramount, ESPN/ABC, FOX, NBC/Peacock, and maybe even Netflix would all be interested in college football content. On top of that if ESPN spins off you can add ABC/Hulu and ESPN as two separate content bidders. Should you have a 30 team Super League only a few of the above will be involved as there are only 15 games in a given week (less in bye weeks). The rest will still be interested in FBS FB. Same reason why non NY6 Bowls still exist. And I would bet that the margins would be better buying FBS games vs Super League games, where there will be a bidding war. The NFL has a monopoly on pro FB. A CFB Super League would have competition for eyeballs even though it is the vastly superior product. For example, I am not going to stop going to SU games because we don't play FSU and Clemson anymore. We already are vastly inferior to the top schools and are a .500 type program. If anything that changes for the better with a Super League, as we actually have a shot at an FBS championship. There will be A LOT of CFB fans like myself, which is a very bad thing for a Super League. Edit Wanted to add that I think they are overestimating how many hardcore fans some of these schools have. You won't see a half empty stadium when these schools have "down" 9-3 type seasons. You won't see fans not subscribe to streaming services either. But if Bama were 3-9 in a Super League and expected to not be much better the next season, they are more likely to average 50k a game instead of 100k, and a large portion of their fanbase will not buy or will cxl early their streaming subscription. There is also no draft to help out bad teams. Parity in the NFL means more overall interest. The more teams with a shot at the playoffs, the more fans engaged the entire season. But I think parity in CFB will mean less interest. It will take an entire generation to change the 8-4 and we should fire the HC mindset. [/QUOTE]
