Seems like that is the idea so far (not sure about STAR Sports for the I-League though). Will/Would be interesting to see how the I-League would be formatted. I could see an Eastern/Western or North/South conference style thing happening and then the 2nd Division could be divided into zones or the East/West or North/South and then state leagues etc.
What is kinda a shame is that I don't think we could do what happens in Australia. Over there, the A-League is held from October to April/May and then the state leagues happen from April to around August/September so does not clash much... not sure that can happen in India due to monsoons and such.
Australian Winter season (April to September) is not very harsh and Football can be played there. Indian Summer and then Monsoon (May to August) is unplayable-players and stadiums alike. Even May is harsh and I feel sorry for I-League players right now.

Currently I league has 9 teams and ISL has 8 teams. If merged it will be 17 teams in one single league. Not bad at all think!!
