IMO the best solution would be to...

1. For the good of college sports we need FB TV contracts, M/W BBall TV contracts, and every other sport TV contracts. IMO there will eventually be challenges to player compensation and the only way to keep the money where it belongs is to separate into 3 contracts. Networks slightly lose out as they no longer bundle everything together.

2. With everything separate we can have different conferences for FB and everything else. That solves a lot of problems with these mega conferences: no regionality, lost rivalries, too much travel.

3. The B18 and SEC merge for FB, add 26 more teams (60 total now), and create their own division for FB. Everything is now under one giant FB TV contract.

4. The NCAA passes a 10 team conference max. Since the 60 team new division is a division and not a conference, that does not apply. FBS, FCS, and so on have to go down to 10 if those conferences are over.

5. The 60 FB teams are separated into 12 five team divisions based on historical conferences. So an SEC East, SEC West, Big 8, SWC, Metro, ACC, B1G East, B1G West, PAC North, PAC South, A10, Big East. That takes care of the parity issue as you can now have 12 kings at the same time.

6. The 60 FB teams are separated into 6 ten team conferences for all other sports. The SEC East/West, Big 8/SWC, Metro/ACC, B1G East/West, PAC North/South, A10/Big East.
