Pete Bevacqua is absolutely correct about maximizing media value with a Super League (something he made clear he opposes).

One huge problem: powerhouse college fan bases are built to expect 10, 11, 12 or more victories every year. In this case, some big names are going to go 2-10. It's the same way it is in the NFL.

Do the fans stay? Losing NFL teams see drops in tickets and revenue. Georgia-Alabama is a big television event when both teams are good. If one, or both, are bad?

And why would major programs want a new world where they are almost assured to be less successful than in the past -- winning is also about donations, applications, alumni, etc.

It works in the NFL because the system is then set up for the worst teams to be advantaged through the draft (and scheduling). Eventually bad teams get good (it takes longer for some, i.e. the Jets).

College football doesn't have that. In recruiting and free agency, the best players generally go to the best teams (even in the NIL-era). More donations come in to the better teams.

So could a Super League really even work in college football?

Michigan’s Elliot Cadeau is officially withdrawing from the 2026 NBA Draft and will return to school next season, per his agent Drew Gross.

An expected decision, but one that lays the foundation for the Wolverines to have another major run in 2026-27.
