The only was you get the B1G/SEC to the table is if you create a system that 1. heavily favors the major teams and 2. favors the rest of the B1G/SEC.

If you break off to a new sub division that has 9 conferences of 10 teams maybe go with...

45% of Tier 1 money goes to each conference evenly
36% of Tier 1 money is divided by number of games on Tier 1 your conference played
18% of Tier 1 money is divided by number of games on Tier 1 your school played

For example...

Tier 1 (network TV) contract is $2.5B
-each conference gets $125M, so each school $12.5M
-SEC is on the most where each school gets $37.5M ($50M total)
-Bama is on the most where they get an additional $30M ($80M total) while Mississippi State is never on and only gets $50M and the AAC is never on so those schools only get $12.5M.

Then do the same with Tier 2 (cable TV), Tier 3 (streaming), Tier 4 (conference networks), and the playoffs.

I would sell games at 12-2-4-6-8-10 on Tier 1 then 12-2-4-6-8-10 on Tier 2 then 12-2-4-6-8-10 on Tier 3 and the rest on the conference networks (3 games each).

So maybe FOX gets the 12 and 10, ABC the 2 and 6, CBS the 4, and NBC the 8.

ESPN/2 the 12/4/8 and FS1 the 2/6/10

Peacock 12/4/8 and ESPN+ 2/6/10

Conference networks 12/4/8 (PAC would be 2/6/10)

Under this system Bama would get a lot more money than the other SEC teams. The SEC teams would get a lot more money than the non SEC teams. Similar for the B1G.

Otherwise you need the B1G and SEC to come together and agree to expand to 30 teams each and break away. Where the B1G is the NFC and the SEC is the AFC.

Those silly proposals where the B1G and SEC are not involved are DOA.
