Chelsea chairman Boehly 'exploring' ways to reorganize college sports

Chelsea Chair Todd Boehly is “exploring how to reorganize college sports into one league with as many as 12 divisions,” according to Randall Williams of BLOOMBERG. Speaking at the Bloomberg Invest conference yesterday, Boehly, who also has ownership stakes in the Dodgers, Lakers and Sparks, said, “In a perfect world, you have 70 to 85 teams; you have a relegation element to it where the other teams can come up to compete; and you really start to think about how do you make it truly national.” However, Boehly also said that “roadblocks could get in the way.” Boehly: “I don’t see how the NCAA is going to deal with NIL, transfer portal, collective bargaining without a proposition that is much more complete” (BLOOMBERG, 6/25).
