Description
A proposal to allow a new unique conference structure in the NCAA that effectively allows a conference to split into two "sub-conferences" under one administrative umbrella (different from divisions). With this being an option for conferences, it would allow for larger conferences with a widespread geography to increase regionality in it, while also maintaining revenue and competitive opportunities for the member schools.
