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.
"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. "
That is the part where the problem lies the way I understand it. None of the teams can play a 12th game the way the rules currently sit. So either every team in the conference could only play ten games and the two division champs get the 11th game, which no team will want to do as they lose potential revenue. The NCAA currently hs ait so that if you play the 12th game as a championship it counts as postseason play and leaves you ineligible for the playoffs.
You know what to do with rules? Throw them out.
I was always raised this way: "Rules are meant to be followed."
