Sports take: The college football superleague is a bad idea — and it needs to happen

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

Two major “superleague” proposals which hope to completely reshape the face of college football have swirled throughout social media in recent weeks. To varying extents, both proposals are reductive, harmful to the health of the sport as a whole and will rip apart much of what fans love about college football.

But at this point, it’s the best path forward.

Shortsighted cash grabs have driven much of modern realignment in ways that are inconvenient for football fans and legitimately harmful to student-athletes. Traveling thousands of miles across the country on a weekly basis is already hard enough; doing so midweek, or to play multiple games, is sure to cause real problems down the line.
