Like when the B12 added West Virginia?


The Big 12 is actually pretty compact at the moment, save for the three eastern outliers, who could maybe join the Acc after FSU, Miami and Clemson figure out a way to weasel out of their legally binding contracts.

Then it's back to regionality, save for the B1G and Pac operating under one banner.

For a Nebraska in the 3-divison setup:

I think it's pretty good.

Fearless,
If you keep static divisions, you are only getting one crossover a year.  The East and West divisions (or whatever you use) are effectively 2 separate conferences connected by a CCG.  We would have out of conference opponents we would casually play more than conference schools.

there's no good way to play 18 or 19 other teams regularly

I think you'd prefer the four divisions of 4, 5, 5, and 4.
.
The problem is having 4 way out west and then avoiding putting UM, OSU, and PSU all together.

obviously I'd prefer playing the same 8 teams each season in a 9 team division of an 18 team conference

and a permanent cross over makes 9 teams every season with a 9 game schedule

rotating is what non-con sched is for

playing the same team home and away for 5 or 6 decades in a row is a proven deal

Decades? 

One bad tv contract, and your conference vanishes overnight.

Maybe the best format for 3 divisions is to split up the west coast schools.

North Division - Wash, Ore, Neb, Iowa, Minn, Wisc

South Division - USC, UCLA, ILL, NW, Pur, Ind

East Division - MSU, Mich, OSU, PSU, Rut, MD

Then have all the west coast schools have fixed cross-overs so that they all play each year.

Sorry @FearlessF , I'm with @ohio1317 on this. I just REALLY don't like the idea of being in a conference with a team (or group of teams) that my school plays LESS than they would if they weren't in the same conference. 

With 16+ I think you have to go to some form of pods. The idea here for 18 with four pods of four plus IU/PU makes sense.

If we go to 20 I like four pods of five. A lot depends what two we add.

but it's not a conference

it's a super conference or a conference that's too large to play all the other teams in the conference on a regular basis

A what now?  :96:
You know, maybe you are right.  Maybe a better format would be 3 + 5/5 + 1/1/1/1 model

3 primary rivals you play every year
10 secondary rivals you play once every 2 years
No Tertiary Rivals you play once every 3 years.
4 Quarentary (Quad) rivals you play once every 4 years.
