definitely the exception to the rule. Blackburn is the other exception to the rule club. Premier League Titles ManU = 13 Man City = 6 Chelsea = 5 Arsenal = 3 Blackburn = 1 Leicester = 1 Liverpool = 1 The other potential issue issue college football could have with promotion/relegation is there is nothing to prevent players, on teams that are relegated, from leaving at the end of the season or the end of the second season to join another team. At least European football has contracts with salary adjustment clauses to prevent a mass exodus. It is entirely possible that you may still end up with an unfair system just in a different format. For example, Rutgers and Vandy are the 2 teams relegated at the end of the period of time. What is there to prevent their entire roster (and maybe their next recruiting class) from entering the Portal to avoid participating in the relegation? After all college athletes only have a 5 year window to play a sport, so a large percentage of them won't willingly want to experience the relegation. The ones that do are likely the same ones that currently transfer from a DI-FBS team to a DI-FCS, DII, DIII, or NAIA team because they want more PT.
