One Nation One League: I-League-ISL Merger

They might have 2 matches every day for 10 franchises and still finish before January Transfer window.

In IPL, HIL 2 matches every day is common.

Churchill, Chennai City, Minerva, DSK, Aizawl, Lajong, along with probably NEROCA and Samity or Fateh ...

I am getting excited about League I. Which braveheart TV company will telecast it?

@munna219777 AIFF had initially wanted IMG-R to improve I-league. This condition was put forward by AIFF.

Ranchi is a better option to Jamshedpur. Better stadium and air connectivity. Jamshedpur doesn't have floodlights.

@shubham_northeastern It's TATA bro. They have the resources and money  to do whatever they need.

Marcus says 10 teams with the addition of BFC and TATA.

If it's BFC than I-League is kind of dead

I-League is not dead. If marketed well teams based in Goa, Kolkata and North East can easily make it survive.

That is something that will not be done. IMG-Reliance will make sure that I-League dies a slow death. Sothat, if and when a 2nd division with pro/rel is added, they can sell bids for those spots too.

With the departure of BFC, I-league would lose a lot of its (recent) sheen no doubt, but I'm sure spirited newcomers like Aizawl FC and maybe NEROCA will partly offset that. And I will be happy with that. I don't want I-league to change it's name to League 1 and be staged like a second division of any league structure which will not have any connections with the top 'division'.

With separate existence continuing, may be at any later date we will see a reversal ...
