People said the same thing when the European soccer Super League was proposed

Ultimately the backlash was so great that they had to withdraw the proposal. That is what would be required here, and it would take backlash from fans in the SEC and Big 10. That's what ultimatly tanked the super league — even fans of the popular teams that would have been included fought against it.

Just leave. Nobody cares about the USFL. They can go try to be a better version

Short term but I would never watch any of their games. 100% NFL after that

If they agree to move to 16 team play off let them have 4 spots each

The plan is for them each to get 4 auto, but increase the size to 14

I wonder what % of viewers of their games are outside B10/SEC?

This is true, but there's a silver lining for the rest of the country.

If this happens, out of principle, I will never watch a single P2 game.

Relegation in CFB would be so awesome. And solve a ton of the current issues with level-of-play issues.
