Europe's governing body have been working on a possible plan to schedule some Champions League games at weekends in an attempt to counter the financial might of the Premier League.
The plan would be part of a bid to screen the games to lucrative Far East markets, where many clubs now have big fan bases.
The Premier League also claim they are not worried by Championship club Brentford announcing this week they are scrapping their academy.
Scudamore said: "It's a brave move. But if they have decided that the late developer model is the one for them, then fine.
"In some ways is it odd that we are running 92 academies. Do we need them all?"
