The SEC/BIG are going to exit the NCAA and form a new football league set up as a corporation. The new "corporation" will consist of two leagues of 20 teams each. They will have their own national championship playoffs. Players from each school will be employees with bargaining rights. Players will be under contract with each team.

Revenue going to each team will be about 125 million a year based on TV contracts for rights to broadcast the 3 major sports on the networks.

A good rumor says that FSU and Notre Dame have offers to join the BIG. UNC has offer to join the SEC. (SEC wants NC mkt. and UNC basketball).

This scenario makes sense because it is all about the money for teams and the networks. If you are not in the SEC/BIG, you are going to become pretty much irrelevant. The new league will dominate the TV mkt from coast to coast and will dominate college sports. The 40 teams initially, maybe later expanded to 48 will be the major teams and TV mkts. The NCAA, and other conferences will become irrelevant as there will be no media money for them.

This is all speculation but it is hinted at in this article and other articles and videos I have seen. I think it will come to fruition within the next three years. Maybe sooner. Big 10 will be the driving force behind this. SEC will also be an equal partner. The two leagues, no longer called conferences) will join together and share the loot equally. They will work together to form the new corporation that will regulate it all.

The NCAA IS NOW IRRELEVANT. They have been for a few years. They did not adapt to the changes in player's wanting a piece of the pie and once the courts got involved, the NCAA lost control. You either adapt to changes or you get left behind when some other entity takes control away from you.

I have no idea where Clemson will land in this new place.

None of what I have written is my own thoughts. I am not that smart. It is from many sources that I have read and followed. I h ave just tried to put what a bunch of others have said in this post. Some claiming inside knowledge, some just speculating, some just talking out of their ###, and some like me just trying to make sense of it all.

I am pretty convinced that the BIG/SEC are going to join forces and form a new league of 40 to 48 teams and control college sports nationwide along with ESPN, FOX, AND NBC. Each school will get up to 125 million a year. Some probably more than others.

How many in country would watch BiG/SEC league games?

Re: How many in country would watch BiG/SEC league games?

This should have been done 4 or 5 years ago, and left the conferences at that
