Say Hello to the “College Student Football League”

Earlier this month, a group of business leaders and higher education officials released their plan for a novel college football league, one that’s more or less entirely separate from the NCAA. They call it the “College Student Football League” – creative name, I know – and, while it’s still in its infant stages, I thought it might be important to talk about. 

The league has some big names backing it already: Duke legend and current managing director of Olympic basketball Grant Hill; Dee and Jimmy Haslam, who own the Cleveland Browns and co-own the Milwaukee Bucks; and Mark Abbott, the former President and cofounder of the MLS, to name just a few. And we’re leaving off a ton of important names.

But what exactly does this supercharged group want? We’re going to talk about their plan for the future of college sports right now – it’s structure, viability, and more. What would an NCAA-less college football league actually look like? Let’s find out.
