NFL voices support for "the voluntary pooling of media rights under the Sports Broadcasting Act" that B1G/SEC oppose in its current form

I honestly think that they believe that a CFB superleague of SEC/B1G (and some notable holdovers like Notre Dame, Miami, etc) could be a threat to NFL's popularity. Especially since these aren't unpaid amateurs anymore.

If the players ever get so disconnected from "school" that they can play "college" ball for a decade or more, I would think it would impact the talent pipeline for the NFL.

I do wonder what the NFL's line of thinking is with this. Obviously keeping their wildly popular, taxpayer funded minor league is important to them, but would a radical shift in major college sports REALLY change much when it comes to their bottom line? I'm not exactly business or financial savvy but it's not like any relevant burdens would shift onto them.

It's a misapplication of terms at the basic level.

'College sports" is what field hockey and baseball players engage in.

The B1G and the SEC are engaged in professional football (and basketball) which is another way to say the entertainment business..

As soon as people quit trying to make those two round ends fit into one square box, real ideas can actually start to come forth.

If we continue to pretend that you use a University framework to manage college sports and entertainment companies both the same way they did back in 1950, then it's going to blow up and hurt Universities, non revenue college sports and the pro sport leagues that are struggling to find a way to emerge.

I know the University level power brokers and the politicians they own can see this (or at least I hope they can). Someone will win the power games and then this will get "fixed" depending on the self interest of the power base that wins.
