I am constantly amazed that there are questions about scheduling . It’s so simple that I have serious doubts about the capacity of those so called masterminds .
The Basics
There are 14 Teams in the Big Ten. There are 7 teams in each Division.
Play 5 Non-Conference Games
Play 6 Division Games
11 Games
Winner of Each Division plays for conference championship.
Ok I can hear it now, why only 11 games, why 5 non-conference? Because that is what it would take to determine a true division champion .
Ideally expand to 16 teams . Then yiu could have 7 Division Games and 4 Non-Conference.
The current add 2 in other division is stupid because it guarantees that there is never really a true division champion .
