Can anyone think of a reason for the super conferences that isn’t TV revenue?
With NIL destined to become contracted PFP why not fix everything once and for all.
Create 12 10 team conferences for all D1 sports based solely on geography. (Revenue$ Saving)
Cap and floor all player salaries.
Share all TV revenue evenly.
In football’s case schedule one (away only) preseason game with an FCS team and two OOC games.
Keep all 42 bowls that exist and each bowl game is a tournament game.
The bowls bid for the round they receive. (Revenue$)
This leaves you with the top-44 making the tournament. 2 from each conference with 20 at-large teams.
I have no doubt that this would actually increase revenue for the major teams because that tournament would be worth exponentially more than the current system.

Thinking about this because of a team like Washington.
In the B1G they are never making the playoff as currently constituted.
Mississippi State? No
Texas A&M probably not.
Nebraska, nope.
Michigan State, nuh-uh.
Look at the $EC. Some of these teams will never wver get through a season with less than 3 losses.
The sport could actually grow to NFL like popularity if these “adults” could just see.
