No protected rivals, geography for 14-team B1G hoops
February 19, 2014 2:28 PM
League will have 5 double-plays and 8 single-plays starting with 14-team league next year
"The way we envision it is that you're playing five teams home and away in 2015," said Rudner, who handles Big Ten scheduling. "In 2016, you'll play five different teams home and away. Then in 2017, the other three teams that you haven't played home and away, you'll play home-and-away, plus two other teams from 2015 that you played home and away."
That means every school will play every team at least once. But only five times over a 13-year period will teams meet twice during the regular season.
