That is what I hope as well but it wont happen now. People should open their eyes (Yes, I know I am pushing it now).
Promotion/relegation will not work in India as of now till the funds and clubs are available to create a viable league. Japan and South Korea are great examples of this. They were developing nations still. They had nothing in world football or Asian football domestically so they revamped. Took out their forms of pro/rel till they could put it back in 1999 and 2013 exactly.
My dream is that for the 2013-14 season we have 12 teams which would eventually expand to 16 clubs by 2016. Then we relegate 2 of those clubs to form a new 8 team 2nd Division. So for the 2016-17 league we would have a 14 team I-League and 8 team 2nd Division. Then eventually by around 2025 I would like to see a 20 team I-League with a 16 team I-League 2nd Division.
As for AFC Criteria because you guys are hell bent on it... 5 points.
Well, if stadium n academy is a criteria then TATA FC should be the first team to get direct entry ,anyway if given chance in ileague div 2, they will anyways win it

Youth requirement yes but stadium could use some work. Then of course you would want the guarantee that they really are into this and market the team well and actually give care to fans.
