In recent weeks, the idea of a future college football "super league" has reportedly been floated among many of the sport's high-ranking officials.

On Tuesday, Sportico's Daniel Libit reported on an obtained pitch deck from TurnkeyZRG that contained proposed divisions and members for one version of the idea. The league, in this scenario, would be comprised of eight divisions of ten teams each. One of those divisions would include ten members of the Group of Five.

Those ten clubs are Boise State, James Madison, Liberty, Miami (OH), New Mexico State, Toledo, Troy, Tulane, UNLV, and UTSA.

Four of the aforementioned clubs were champions of their respective conference. Five reached their respective league title game. UTSA finished third in the American Athletic Conference while SMU won the AAC, then moved on to the ACC.

NEW: An 11-slide "confidential" @TurnkeyZRG pitch deck from February offers new details for the proposed college football "Super League," including how the 70 permanent members would be divvied up among 7 conferences.

In this scenario, the league would have 70 permanent members, comproised of members of the former Power Five conferences. An "under-league" division would consist of G5 teams, that would change each year based on team performance. The top two teams would remain and the bottom eight would be relegated.

The idea isn't completely fleshed out and, obviously, would need a major boost in support from key college football stakeholders. That being said, it's something that fans of the G5 should be paying attention to. After all, if there is one thing that the last few seasons of college football have taught the public, it's that basically anything can happen when it comes to this sport and its governance.
