The same company that is head of our AD search pitched the NCAA a super college football league that included relegation and standardized NIL regulation, new playoff system and limits on transfers
The deck proposes a national broadcast NIL (BNIL) construct whereby players receive pro rata shares of a collectively bargained “FB Player Pool,” which would come from the Super League’s TV money. That money would be distributed as follows: 5% to all rostered freshmen, 15% to all rostered sophomores, 30% for all rostered juniors and 50% for all rostered seniors and graduate students.
As another means of maintaining competitive equity, the pitch deck proposes a cap that would constrain how much a program’s athletes could cumulatively earn via NIL. The suggested “NIL Roster Cap” would mandate that individual NIL payments for football players at a single school not exceed those earned via group licensing and broadcast NIL (BNIL) deals.
If a school exceeds the cap for a season, then it would be punished by losing transfer slots, and possibly scholarship slots. If, on the other hand, a school were to fall below 80% of a pre-established “NIL Roster Floor” for two consecutive seasons, it would be relegated to the Under League until it could sustain a full season above the floor.

The seven permanent 10-team “Super League” divisions consist of every Power Five school plus Notre Dame, and are organized geographically: west, southwest, plains, midwest, northeast, south and southeast.
The pitch deck proposes a 14-game regular season played across 15 weeks starting in August. The regular season concludes Thanksgiving weekend and is followed by a 16-team Super League playoff, played out over five weeks.
Teams would be allowed 85 roster spots each year, but could only have a maximum of 70 scholarship slots. At least 50 of those would have to go to players who were recruited by the program directly out of high school. Athletes would be allowed to transfer twice within a five-year eligibility window. Each year, there would be two transfer portal windows—an “open” one in February and a “supplemental” one in March—and schools would only be able to sign a maximum of 10 players during each.
Moreover, schools that sign athletes during the February window would have to make a “player transfer payment” to those athletes’ former schools—not unlike how the NFL has compensatory draft picks—reimbursing them for aggregate broadcast NIL payments the transferring athletes had received during their prior enrollment.
