I have an idea, make ISL top division with 13 teams (10 ISL teams + EB, MB and Arrows) and make I-League 2nd division. Brodcast all 2nd division matches and pay each I-League club 2 crores per year from the franchisee fee they receive from ISL teams, Then when the relegation immunity contract ends in 5 years' time, start promotion and relegation with I-League and remove franchise fee
1. Take top 6 teams from each league for the first 2 years. No direct entry to this level by any new team -- to give equal opportunity and retain quality
2. Make 10 team 2nd Div with balance teams, and keep on adding new teams -- to prep promotion system and to make it a open ended system
3. no relegation for 2-3 years -- to let the teams consolidate
4. promote 2 teams each year for a 2-3 year frame to make the top tier a 16-18 team league -- More than 18, the league loses quality and therefore attractiveness
5. Start relegation (along with promotion ) after that period -- to have a normal functioning league structure
6. No Arrows, make academies by the participating clubs a must -- to have a viable ecosystem
7. Fed start Referees and Coaches education -- Refs should have gradation and annual contract
8. No participation Fees, Clubs should get a part of the central revenue
