On how to 'fix' this horror show of conference destruction.
"Kelly's solution includes establishing a conference commissioner and having football break away from other sports, something he has advocated for in the past. As conferences such as the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC keep adding teams from, in some cases, both coasts, Kelly's ideal scenario is for a version of independence that leads to consolidation.
"I think we should all be independent in football," Kelly said. "You can have a 64-team conference that's in the Power 5 and you can have a 64-team conference in the Group of 5, and we separate it and we play each other."
Kelly said he believes there should be one TV contract that includes every conference, where potential regional divisions are sponsored by brands and the overall media offering is stronger and more appealing to potential TV partners."
