6. Either establish three levels—I-A, I-AA (current minor conference I-A teams and weak major conference I-A schools), and I-AAA (current I-AA schools)—within Division I football, or lump together all of the teams that would hypothetically be in I-AA and I-AAA and put them all into the FCS, leaving only the super-conference teams in the FBS.

 

7. Depending on which format is used (four divisions/two divisions) teams would be required to play 12 games against:

A) Every team in their division (either three games or seven games).

B) A permanent opponent within the conference from another division (one game).

C) Either four teams from another division (rotates annually) that everyone else in your division will also play (in years that one of those teams is the permanent opponent, another team within the conference may be selected), in addition to a team from one of the other two divisions (rotates annually) or one opponent from the other division that rotates annually (either five games or one game).

4) One team from every other conference (one permanent and two rotating).

 

So who would be in what conference?  Considering many factors, this is what I thought would be the best way to break up the conferences.
