Thanks for the response.

I add to your point of watching 3-6 Texas v. 2-7 Alabama, many fans will simply reject the super league.  It's fake, they have the NFL, and they are true to their schools, which heavily outnumber the super league.

I am a bit surprised you have Michigan in the super league as I read elsewhere that their alumni were solidly in the academic camp.  That was a year or two ago and may have been old at that time.

I am suspect that Alabama and Auburn make the jump.  Though neither is an academic powerhouse, it seems that with such a limited number, Alabama would be the sole representative from a smaller state.  Texas and TAMU can be justified as Texas has a large population, likewise UCLA and USC.  Possibly Florida and FSU or Miami, but not all three.

Anyway, enough speculation from me.  I remain skeptic of this working, though you may be right on the legal point of Title IX not applying to a separately owned for-profit entity, especially if there is no academic requirement for the players.

Again, thanks.  This is a viable option in spite of my skepticism.
