But my real wish list would be a mega conference ACC/B12/PAC
You could easily group them by regions to have more local options if you wanted (example below). Would be much easier for travel for basketball and non-revs with more logical regional options. And it would be big enough (32 teams) to warrant multiple contracts and spread out the media coverage (and the risk so that all eggs are not in the same basket). Having ESPN and Amazon and someone else would be much more stable.
It's a pipe dream I know. But it is what I would want to see as the counter to the P2.
