This is almost EXACTLY what I have been saying is the end game with all the shuffling and changes. A somewhat NFL type league all with a single affiliation outside of the NCAA. They will be assigned various "divisions", similar to districts are in MSHSAA. You meet a certain threshold in your division and you get to play for a championship.
It may start with football but the next thing will be basketball because money. This will push the trend of featuring more mediocre teams with name recognition and fewer (or none) quality mid majors. The super tournament will be the new march madness and it will feature exclusively big name teams even if they aren't very good. The new NCAA tournament for the remaining mid and low major D1s will become sort of what the NIT is now.
