Eh, Texas has sucked for over a decade in the B12.  Sucking in a new ZIP code won't feel that much different.

Yer gonna have to try harder than that if ya really wanna stir this pot.
 
the Huskers were sucking in the 12 before they left
not much different

Back to the Horn-tweaking-the-Aggies chart:



I saw something the other day and dismissed it. "Even/Odd" years for the non-permanent opponents to meet. Apparently, if you play NPO1 in 2024, you play NPO1 again in 2026, not in 2025, the way we did it in the original Big 12 structure.

I think that would be silly.  Only way to get good rivalries going, is with familiarity.  Playing two years in a row will generate more familiarity than playing every other year.  It also keeps the home-away schedules more aligned.

Overall I don't care TOO much about it, but the obvious answer to me is to play A-home, A-away, B-home, B-away, etc,

I don't care for that idea either, but I've seen it referred to in reporting on the options that will be discussed at the Spring Meeting. That does seem to be the proposal, not just something the creator of that chart dreamed up.

Maybe we just like it the old Big 12's way because that's what we've experienced. I'd like to see a full exploration of the plusses and minuses of both ways of doing it.

Zero chance of going to 11 conference games.  It's going to be tough enough to get the SECSECSEC to go to 9 conference games.

unfortunately

I think going to Ten might be possible. (for the big ten)

Usually have one quality non-con that could be replaced by a conference game

I remember when it was a 10 game season and I remember when the 10 became 11 and I remember when the 11 became 12

money drove that so you just never should say never

The SEC has built a notable portion of its mythology using the 8-game conference schedule and a clever shell game featuring a slate of November patsies.  They know this.  Just going to 9 conference games is assault enough on its strategy, the schools themselves make more money on home bodybag games than they would on adding conference games and losing that home game revenue.

You're right about following the money, you're just not understanding that home games pay more than slightly incremental television revenue.

I'll be very disappointed if the SEC retains an 8-game conference schedule, which would drive a 1-7 scheduling format. But it seems to be a possibility.

The schools that have 2 or 3 bitter fanatical conference rivalries should oppose that like the plague.
