Why should the University of Texas keep West Virginia afloat and why should Michigan keep Rutgers afloat?
Because everyone wants to see Texas vs. Oklahoma and Michigan vs. Ohio State, but college football would last no more than one year if these were the only teams in the sport … and these pairs played each other ten times in a season before they all (miraculously) were selected for the four-team NCAA football championship playoffs.
Here is your super league and it would not consist of Michigan v. Ohio State every week”
