Crowder outlines two-division plan to boost college football revenue
Crowder proposes splitting conferences into two divisions with a mixed schedule to keep player and fan interest higher. Winners would crown divisional champions each year, potentially creating a national-like playoff and distributing $150,000 to $200,000 net revenue among members. He notes NCAA approval would take years and media appeal could drive conference revenue.
