I will not post the full article or all the hypotheticals...but I quickly say yes...
Major conferences’ television rights are pooled
The Supreme Court’s 1984 decision allowing schools and conferences to negotiate their own TV rights sounded great in theory. But in practice, it’s the single decision that’s had the most negative impact on college football. In the decades since, there’s been a gold rush toward television money. If a program’s conference isn’t getting enough, it’s going elsewhere, curse the geography.
The NCAA absolutely should not be in charge of negotiating the television rights. I wouldn’t trust the NCAA to negotiate a better price for an oil change on my car. But pooling TV rights and negotiating with all the conferences as a whole makes sense and protects rivalries and the geography that helped build college football into America’s second-favorite sport.
Sorting out rights with multiple networks across multiple conferences is more complex than it is now, but the NFL manages it. College football would be fine working with ESPN, Fox, NBC and CBS to reach a conclusion that makes sense.

It's a great idea - pool the media money, and let schools keep their post
