"Project Rudy," a planned 70-team super league being worked on by former Disney executives that'd have two 35-team conferences and eliminate games between the Power Conference and the FCS and Group of 5, is something every team hoping for a bigger piece of the pot is looking for.
We know FSU and Clemson are in that group after they sued the ACC and sought a tiered payout that'd similarly benefit them to how Texas and Oklahoma's agreement with the Big 12 was before they jumped to the SEC. Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Michigan will likely all be in that group too since they're the top-six earners in the sport by a wide margin. Existing within the current collegiate conference model is taking money out of their pockets and into the pockets of conference foes that don't deserve it.
All eight of those teams, as well as Auburn, have sat through a presentation from the ex-Disney execs according to Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger.
"...the list of administrators who have seen the presentation or, at the very least, have been shared its contents, covers the country’s richest football powers and then some: Florida State, Georgia, Miami, LSU, Alabama, Clemson, Penn State, Auburn, Oregon, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Texas, USC, Michigan, Baylor, Florida, Iowa State and Arizona," Dellenger wrote.
'Project Rudy' too far away to worry about right now
Collegiate sports can radically change enough in the next six to seven years for "Project Rudy" to be too irrelevant to think about right now.
The SEC and Big Ten can go into business together or both could add to their respective ranks by folding in Big 12 and ACC teams. The "Power 2" can survive and lessen the need for a 70-team super league.
Nothing is certain in college sports. So something planned for down the road that far isn't worth much thought just yet.
