Used 2 think B1G wanted S League, but 16 were ready 2 sign long GOR, 2 not.

Also, 24 team playoff in 40-50 team Super League, would make the regular season pretty much worthless. I think ESPN/SEC want the Super League, but I think the previously mentioned B1G actions are going in a different direction. They really like their AAU for the teams in their conference, and the Super League would take that away.

Thought that too a year ago, what advantage would ESPN have to split it?
