geography can be delt with
lines on a map

it's important IMO that a group of teams play each other annually  - all of them - round robin
those games should be a majority of the season, not 2 or 3 games each season

7 teams in each division - seems to work
why not 8 teams or 10 or 12?

I was on a plane flying back from Hawaii with members of the lady NMSU soccer team pondering costs.  I was also ponder something else as well, but my wife was there.

They were pretty much all very pretty, athletic looking ladies.  They were having fun on the plane also.  I guess they won.

In the case of 20, just don't have any crossover games.  Then a CCG will actually make sense.  Like a B1G World Series from back in the day. 
I personally like the idea of junking the divisions and trying to have everybody play everybody as equally and frequently as they can.  As the Big Ten folks kept saying in the rollout, teams in the same conference should want to play each other.  The teams in the middle hate geographical divisions because you just drew a line right through the middle of conference where teams on the other side of the line barely play each other. Now you want set it up that they don't play at all.  No way.  No thank you.

but the conference is too large to play all teams regularly enough

just my opinion

if your idea is the way, then no protected annual rivals.
if annual rivals are important then it's important for 7 or 8 or 9 teams.
not just 1 or 2

That 3-3-6 tactic looked decent to me.

I remember when the Big 11 was still a thing, and people wanting to play a 9 game schedule in it.

Think for a minute.

thinkin a 10-game schedule would have been perfect, but 9 would be better than 7 or 8.

who's idea was it to add an 11th team?

Jim Delany. He wanted to go to 12 but ND refused. Then the presidents/chancellors put a moratorium on expansion. If not for that, Texas would be a member.

11 teams cannot play a 9 game schedule.

It makes me wonder what the Big Ten will do when they expand to 18 or 20 teams.  They will either have to...

expand to 10 conference games

or start playing some teams every 3 years instead of every 2 years.

Or go to just 1 protected rival and play everybody else once every 2 years.  I can't see this option working for Michigan.
I proposed a solution way upthread, see below:

They have to go to 10 games in that case. Or split in two.
There are other alternatives.  I proposed one upthread, see below

I don't think I could stomach not having games against UM, OSU, MSU, PSU.

And if FSU, Miami or both were to join, I'd want them so I could easily see my guys.
Agreed!

Since the Wolverines shied away from the 2020 game, Penn State is by far OSU's longest running continuous series at 30 years.

So now that it's finally gaining some of that tradition that it lacked, of course they are pulling the plug.
LoL.  

It was Illinois for decades then they dropped that, then it was Michigan, then they used COVID to back out of the 2020 game so now it is PSU and they are dropping that, ugh.
