I know not many of you are footy fans, but something pretty seismic just was announced in European football. The crux of the story is 12 of the world's biggest soccer names announced they are breaking away from UEFA competition to form their own exclusive Super League. They will likely expand that 12 founders number to 15 once a few other brands hop on board and there will be 5 additional programs allowed in this exclusive league based on merit, which will rotate on an annual basis. The 15 founding members are in there as long as Super League exists.
The closest US sport I could think of that has had rumblings of anything even close to this is college football.
So, if the nation's blue bloods gave the NCAA the finger and broke off to do their own thing:
Who's in? (assume 20 total members with 15 founders and 5 rotating just like Super League)
Would you watch?
Is this better than the traditional conference regular season & bowl post season? (Assume it's set up like the NFL and we get a 10 team playoff system)
