Interesting read in The Athletic about a plan with some notable backers to completely overhaul college football. The idea for promotion is pretty wild, but the fact that P5 schools + Notre Dame would be shielded from it kind of takes away the fun.

One league overseeing college football’s highest level. No more conferences as we’ve known them. Playoff berths being decided solely on the field. Promotion and relegation for smaller schools. Players being paid directly. NIL and the transfer portal, managed.

A group of influential leaders wants to make all this happen soon — and they are pitching it as the best way forward for a sport they believe needs saving.

"Thus far, the group is struggling to gain traction with the schools that would play in their proposed “Super League.” The ACC board of directors heard a presentation from the group in February. However, planned dinners with administrators from the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 all were called off. Spokespersons for the Big Ten and SEC said commissioners Petitti and Greg Sankey, respectively, have not met with Perna’s group."

Good luck!

Nine years playing pro football is an accomplishment. Retire his number?

I fully support him using the system to his advantage, hopefully he's getting advanced degrees from a very good school like Miami.

That being said, I find it hilarious not just for the length of time, but how middling a player he's been.  He has 265 yards receiving...in his entire CFB career.  Brock Bowers was 14 years old when McCormick started playing college football.  And he had more yards in the 2 games against Auburn and Kentucky last year than McCormick had his entire career.
