Among the changes up for discussion would be the formation of a so-called "super division" that would allow athletic departments with high-revenue football programs to make some of their own rules and implement things like athlete stipends. Many of those initiatives have been blocked by lower-revenue programs, which make up the majority of the NCAA.

I see a HUGE anti-trust lawsuit if they did that….I like how they say "high revenue". Revenue is meaningless if you are not breaking even or profitable. As we all know their are only a hand full of athletic programs that are profitable. The system is broke.
This move could also backfire. From a financial perspective, allocating a budget for stipends for athletes will hurt the revenue stream. In order to offset the loss of revenue, higher contract demands from networks will ensue. Depending on the economic environment, this may be an issue for the network outlets.

You are right it would be terrible for college football. But let me play devils advocate here yea us and a school like Bama are both FCS but are we really in the same league …no and we are Not even that bad we are a school with a beautiful new stadium football stadium in a beautiful area with tons ofdusky256fc said
It would be the death of college football as we know it. Letting the Nick Sabans of the world dictate the rules of college football woud be disaster!
Potential. Look at schools like Eastern Michigan who get like 2k a
game and other Mac schools or ULM who have have been small for 100 years an they are what they are. In the end to many schools cheaping FCS. Is this unfair and stupid yea but I can
Not blame them.
