Scheduling would be easy. Insane ideas like each team meeting others three times -- home, away and neutral -- would keep the minimum game number figures checked for FIFA.
ISL teams getting relegated would kill them and make whatever investments that have been made be worthless while I-League (League One) teams promoted would stand no chance in ISL, expenses would increase a lot, and there is the potential that teams like Aizawl could get in, who, no offense, would never survive in an ISL, esspecially with that stadium.
As for other motivation with no promotion to first tier. First off, no one has played sports if you believe that there is no incentive for motivation, also, look up countries which don't have pro/rel and how teams get motivation. It does exist.
That is the whole fight about @sanvedjadhav ...the so called "rich clubs" who have taught Indians to play football will UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES Agree to an open league with relegation promotion on merit (wonder why , as with their self proclaimed millions of dollars of investments& stadiumsfull of passionate fans surely tgey will be able to afford country's talent's, so why fear the poor club's with supposedly no fans and no proper infrastructure and coaches??)) and IMG sponsored crooks running Aiff can't see beyond their kickbacks' to give damn about the impact on domestic football ecosystem....
Traditional clubs would agree to almost all IMG diktats if this basic condition of national league is met.
Number of countries having no promotion / relegation in their top league is handful. That can't justify no promotion / relegation for ISL teams. Agreed that teams like Aizwal & many more don't have the money power to survive in ISL, but survival criterian in sports is merit or money power ? Why ISL teams are not asked to survive on merit ? What's the guarantee that the franchise teams would not fold up in next 3-4 years leaving the proposed roadmap to the drains. Need of the hour is to honestly derive a blue print to move forward Indian Football & not manipulate everything to the advantage of IMG-R. Sadly this wouldn't happen.
What is the guarantee that domestic clubs would not fold up in the next 3-4 years? You can't think like that and even if they do lose a team or two, it is not the end of the world with other leagues, franchise or not, experiencing that and moving forward.
A blue print is the need of the hour and that is literally what happened last month. The road map did not just include the ISL but also included the lower divisions, the national team, and the women's league. Only thing the road map did not detail was the youth teams and state/regional leagues.
Domestic clubs will not fold in 3-4 years because they didn't fold in the past even without getting any support from the league or AIFF. If they provide some assistance to the clubs, they wouldn't fold. That is not the case with corporate clubs. If the going is not to their liking, they fold.
Also I cannot say the roadmap included I-league clubs. It tried to eliminate them.

Keep failing....and keep your job...
Seems to be doing his annual Ostrich impersonation.
Or scratching his head on how to make a schedule for 6 teams
I am sure Salgaocar , SCG and others in the 2nd and 3rd tier wont mind fighting for getting promotion to the top tier (ISL).
Let teams in Top tier be on merit, not just financial power.
Top tier league and potential AFC cup engagements act as motivation. What is the motivation in the proposed format except making up numbers?
