How? we currently have 13 teams, say we add a 14th.
7 teams in the "north" division 7 teams in the "south" division.
All the teams in the north play each other...thats 6 games, you get 5 out of division games. Those could be with other big sky conference teams, or say MVFC teams whoever you choose. Thats 11 games.
Than the team from the "north" and teams from the "south" with the best records, play each other in the "conference championship" for the 12th and final regular season game. Then the playoffs start.
And for the teams that arent playing in the conference championship, their 12th game can go by final standings. so say 3v4...5v6...7v8...9v10...11v12...13v14
How does that not work?
This is why it doesn't work:
The problem is the ncaa limitation on number of games and period when games can be played, as
well as playoff schedule.
But what Im proposing would be the same number of games and during the same time period?
Even if changed, other teams would either have season end a week earlier or a bye week the week before Thanksgiving. Or play one less game and lose revenue.
they wouldnt because it would be the same amount of games we have now, and during the same weeks we play now. Nothing time and date wise would have to change.
Why would 2 playoff teams, ie top 2 in conference, want to play another game a week before Thanksgiving?
To be conference champions, it would again be the same schedule we have now
Why would other conferences want to change season and-or playoff schedule for the Big Sky?
they wouldnt, because again, the schedule and dates games are played would not change as what it currently is
What team would you add? Some people are complaining about some of the teams the conference has.
I would also be open for subtracting, I agree that the BSC is too big, unbalanced schedule is shit
Would you then do just a 6-game conference schedule? Is that a good idea? To me, that's worse than what we have now.
the solution to this would be you could either play teams from the other "division" or schedule whoever you want OOC, what does the Big Ten do?
Don't think it works to schedule games a week before the last weekend, as none the schools would prepared, charters not set up, and attendance would likely be awful.
this is one issue I agree could be difficult. But many schools around the BSC have shit attendances anyhow. Im sure that final game, unless it was the championship game, would be similar to the 1st round playoff games attendance now.
