They should just have a regular season and let everybody into a cup-style tournament afterwards. Both the regular season and cup winners get Champions League bids.

Reply to TIL that in 1979, a charity special episode of the academic student quiz show "It's Academic" was held between a team of three Democratic U.S. Senators, three Republican U.S. Senators, and three members of the press. The special was handily won by the press team. by FranklinDRoosevelt32
The photo is a regular episode with high school students from 2009-2010. In 1976, the teams were journalists, politicians, and athletes. The athletes team included Joe Theismann. The journalists still won, athletes 2nd, politicians last.

Dolly Parton recorded a great cover.
I was also at a show where the band played Stairway to Heaven, but the lyrics were The Ballad of Gilligan’s Island.
