I would split things up North vs. South. With rivalries being protected across divisions (AppState vs GaSo, etc.)
I would let the best team host the football championship game (head to head, best record overall, then best record division, then best robot rating, etc. until a tiebreaker would be settled).
Basketball would include all teams in the initial round, with the better seed hosting. The top 4 seeds would get bye's, host their first game. The Final 4 would be played at a championship site that would rotate between locations (Memphis, Jacksonville, etc.)

No name really made sense, so I let Amazon buy naming rights.
Obviously basketball was the thrust here; not that football is terrible with Cincinnati, Marshall and two service academies, but the quickest way for a non-power conference to gain credibility is through basketball and with Gonzaga, VCU, Villanova and Cincy among others, I like their chances.
(yes, Gonzaga. For a better TV deal we can all live with it).
