We were technically part of the power 5 for a year, SMU was not.

The Athletic: College Football Super League being pushed as the college sports of tomorrow

You had me at relegation. That would be so cool

scootsy

Apr 3, 4:17pm

Oh dang, it’s not real relegation. But how cool would that be to have your rival

scootsy

Apr 3, 4:20pm

I like it. Relegation for only the peasant schools I don’t care about. BYU with power status forever.

Carnac

Relegation would suck because I'm confident it would happen to BYU more than it should

letthewookieewin

You would be at risk of relegation right out of the gate.

Especially when BYU wouldn't be in danger of it

Carnac

As long as we’re in the cool kids club. Don’t love it though.

Sparkling Delirium

I could get behind this idea. I really like it.

SoCalCoug

Apr 3, 4:22pm

Sure, why not

Gustav

Apr 3, 4:22pm

Sounds awesome, let’s do it

They're following the blueprint from the formation of the English Premier League

NOCAL_YFAN

Apr 3, 4:25pm

Nobody knows what that is. This is an original creation. An American invention.

TCuz

Apr 3, 4:27pm

Nope, not unique to Americans...

NOCAL_YFAN

We didn't fight and single-handedly win 2 world wars for our national sport

Sid Vicious

Apr 3, 4:49pm

I couldn't read that. I don't speak Redcoat.

OPINIONS

Apr 3, 4:56pm

What other 9 teams would you want in BYU's division?

BYULAWGUY

Apr 3, 4:27pm

SDSU. So close, but yet, so far.

LifeLongLakerFan

Apr 3, 4:32pm

Seems like this might be BYU's best shot

TNT

Apr 3, 4:36pm

This is the most rational thing I have ever seen discussed related to CFB. Up

SnickSnack

Apr 3, 4:44pm

Agree here.

eyes4byu

Apr 3, 8:35pm

It's great - but no way the SEC and B1G are giving up their power

Jesse Pinkman

Apr 3, 4:45pm

My thoughts exactly. Everyone will agree until they discuss money.

SnickSnack

Apr 3, 4:47pm

If they want 710twam divisions, how does the current

bald man

Apr 3, 6:23pm

Could keep the money if they can earn it my putting two teams in each conference

eyes4byu

Apr 3, 8:41pm

It seems like good news for BYU so imminent doom shortly

TNT

Apr 3, 6:41pm

Agreed

Briguy

Apr 3, 7:01pm

This sounds like a best case scenario for all…awesome idea

PHXSUNS31

Apr 3, 4:45pm

I'm all for this - if it is done wisely which I doubt

DataMouth

Apr 3, 4:46pm

Do this and re-do regional rivalries/conferences...benefits everyone except SEC.

BlueKarma

Apr 3, 4:47pm

It says the former power 5. Are we sure that includes byu? Otherwise would they

ColonelMustard

We were technically part of the power 5 for a year, SMU was not.

Bainge

Apr 3, 5:08pm

It says 70 teams. Go count them up and come back to us.

TCuz

Apr 3, 5:15pm

I counted 59. What am I missing?

Forbidden Fruit

Apr 3, 7:53pm

Go count again.

TCuz

Apr 3, 7:57pm

11 teams.

Coug-Ida

Apr 3, 8:00pm

I don't hate it

ALC

Apr 3, 5:04pm

Makes too much sense so it won’t happen.

Rivers Cuomo

Apr 3, 5:18pm

If the college presidents are for it, we should probably rethink it.

Bobby Lee Swagger

Apr 3, 6:06pm

Well the ones outside of the Big 2 want to stay relevant

TNT

Apr 3, 7:21pm

Tough sell... sounds like none of the 70 power teams are up for this yet

Hill4Heisman

Apr 3, 6:09pm

Seems like schedules would still be really unbalanced

Beggar

Apr 3, 6:33pm

I like it. Also, it will never happen.

thewaterboy

Apr 3, 6:39pm

Gotta admit - I don't hate this idea. So it will never happen, of course.

Eddie

Apr 3, 6:43pm

Lots of LDS or Utah ties of those highlighted in the article.

Cougstreak

Apr 3, 7:47pm

Wow! BYU would be in at nearly the last minute, but in for good. Yes, please!

NYC and Japan

Apr 3, 8:04pm

Why would the SEC and big 10 divide their consolidation of power and money….they wouldn’t.

Blue2thebone

Apr 4, 1:59am

I don’t believe this will happen. Low incentive from sec and big10 imo

conetah

Apr 4, 7:27am

If it does move forward, I bet the protected group will be smaller than 70 teams
