Will the NFL survive?

With the Wild, Wild, West scenario that is currently unfolding, to include the possibility of SEC and Big 10 breaking away from anything that is believed or defined today (definition of amateur  or professional)  - the NFL seems oblivious to it all.  TV contracts would seem to be the factor that appoints the rule vs the exception.  Seems the NFL better get in the game, before they become the exception and the new rule is defined.  Not being aware of the details of the recent court ruling that blurs the line between pro and amateur.   It feels similar to the birth of the NFL when the upstart AFL rose to its limelight and todays NFL was born.  Much more of a threat than the USFL, or the other wannabe leagues that popped up.  Not sure what my point is, but the NFL needs to wake up and realize that just because something is the way it is today, tomorrow is not guaranteed.  Football will always be, but maybe structured differently into the 2030's.

The NFL is probably most concerned about scheduling with the playoffs expanding so it doesn’t intrude on their rating dominance after the college regular season. Which to be frank is probably part of the reason why the CFP scheduling is so wacky. However, the NFL is going to be too dog because ultimately they have the product that everyone wants to watch. College football because of the limitations on eligibility and talent sailing is just not going to overtake the NFL. I do think however, that there may be more synergy with with NFL both with rules and tv contracts to ensure that revenue is raised for all involved. E.g. the rising tide lifts all boats. I can also see smaller schools going to spring ball to get a share of viewers they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. Wild times for sure. The NFL is not oblivious imo

Looks like the NFL is losing their employees left and right.
