UCLA's Chip Kelly Proposes Single Power 5 Conference

Kelly's plan includes a single TV contract, new scheduling pattern, and revenue sharing between schools and players.

UCLA head football coach Chip Kelly has proposed a complete overhaul of college football, suggesting a single Power 5 conference with 64 teams, separate from other sports.
Kelly's proposal includes a single TV contract for all conferences, with potential regional divisions sponsored by brands, which he believes would make the media offering more appealing to TV partners.
He also suggested a scheduling pattern that would maintain existing rivalries while creating new ones, with teams playing seven games against West Coast teams one year, then against the East or South in subsequent years.
Kelly called for revenue sharing between schools and players, arguing that players should be paid because they are the product of the sport.
The Pac-12 conference, of which UCLA is a member, is set to dissolve next year, with 10 of its 12 teams moving to different conferences.
