Proposal for New College Football Super League

A new proposal from College Sports Tomorrow (CST) aims to establish a national college football league called the College Student Football League (CSFL), reconfiguring the current 136 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools into two conferences. The top 72 programs would form the Power 12 Conference, organized into 12 geographical divisions, while the remaining 64 schools would compete in the Group of 8 Conference, with opportunities for promotion but no relegation. The plan intends to simplify postseason qualifications and enhance fan engagement by allowing direct competition based on team performance. Although the proposal has garnered attention and features involvement from high-profile executives, it faces challenges including existing NCAA contracts and the need for institutional cooperation. CST envisions a structure that separates football from other collegiate sports, maintaining traditional conference alignments for non-football programs. Critics suggest that the vision may be overly ambitious given the complexities of college sports governance and existing media rights agreements.
