[QUOTE="Shief, post: 1775089, member: 6820"] Going in a crazy direction, I thought that I saw something a while back proposing that the B1G snag more teams to get to 20 or 24. This is an outlandish and possibly unwieldy idea but getting to 24 by adding Kansas, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, USC, UCLA, Cal-Berkeley, Stanford, Oregon, and Washington - all AAU schools BTW - could create a coast to coast ultra-conference that would include many well known schools (prestige) and would also expand conference tv channel(s)/media attention in several big media markets/states (money). Football could be an 11 game conference schedule with 5 annual rivals (one natural rival and a game against a team from each region - East, Central, West, Pacific) and 6 rotating games either doing a home-home so that you play at every stadium in a 6 year period or you play every team in a 3 year cycle where you play team X at home in year 1 and then away in year 4. Again, this a crazy idea but thought I'd stir the pot a bit here. [/QUOTE]
