[QUOTE="FT35, post: 1316274, member: 10675"] I honestly don't even see short term pain for NCAA football. There were 128 FBS teams in 2016. If there were around 85 scholarships at each school that equates to around 10,880 FBS players who are on scholarship (not including walk-ons). If this league takes 140 of those players that hardly puts a dent into the talent pool. Some FCS kids will get a chance to play FBS football. Expand the league to 16 teams (640 players?) and that's still not a major issue. That's assuming of course that a league like this gains any traction, which is silly to even think about at this point. [/QUOTE]
