So what is the plan for scheduling The Game, Divisions, and the Conference Championship Game once USC/UCLA join?

I don’t know.  I thought you disavowed the B1G yesterday. 

I like money

I hope they add two more teams beyond USC and UCLA and go to a 1 / 8 / 8 where you have one permanent rival and play the other 8 teams in alternating years.  And then drop the championship game and instead play all of the rivalry games on the final weekend, spread across three days.  But whatever makes the most money is probably what's going to happen.

Let's enjoy this season... 

Since restructuring has to happen, I would imagine that the simplest and easiest move would be to keep things largely as they are,  put Purdue in the East, and the put the two west coast teams in the West division.

As it stands we play 3 ooc teams and 3 crossovers every year, we'll be adding one extra division opponent annually and having to sacrifice from the 6 mentioned above. I'd prefer sacrificing our 3rd meaningless warmup game for the new division opponent, and making one of the 3 crossovers protected for Minnesota, with the other 2 alternating between traditional B1G rivals. 

I'd be fine if we never scheduled a major p5 school in a season opener in a baseball stadium or in Europe, etc. 

I just don't find any appeal in us having a potential schedule full of teams like Utep, Akron, Bowling Green, Rutgers, Maryland, UCLA, USC, and Nebraska in the same year, at the expense of century old rivals.

We can occasionally play the West newcomers if they make the conference championship game.

Clearly USC and UCLA will join the East, and Maryland and Rutgers will switch to the West. Big Ten logic. 

Wow, a 12 team playoff, how neat.  Can't wait to see 8 eesss eeee seeee teams in it every year!!!

/s - just in case

Create two divisions called "Managers" and "Folklores."  Then use a generator to randomly assign the teams into each division without thought of geography or match ups.  That would scream Big Ten.

Not looking forward to playing OSU twice this year 

Whatever you did to get a million MGoPoints, it clearly wasn't this.

This isn't quite as bad as your thread from yesterday.  Then again, it would be hard to be that bad.

Dump the BTCG and the divisions.  If two teams share the title, good for them!  Use tiebreakers to determine the official league representative.  That's what we did as a conference for a century.  

College football has to seriously think about how long the season is going to be.  Are we really going to play a 12-game season, a conference title game, and a playoff that could be up to four rounds?  Do we want college teams to play up to 17 games?

Conference title games are the simplest thing to get rid of.  The extra revenue from the CFP should offset it.

Kevin Warren told me but made me pinky promise not to tell anyone. Sorry. 

The only thing I've heard is that they are considering changing the conference name to "The Big Chill' after Michigan wins again this year.

OSU is excited to go play out west in the nice weather.

They will probably push for a retractable roof to be installed at the toilet bowl...or maybe go full dome.

Knowing the B1G, the conference will devise a scheduling plan at the latest moment possible.  Not a second earlier.

USC will play at Michigan and UCLA at Ohio State the first year.

Why?  Because of color contrast and to give a rough time to newcomers.

Just my best guess.

oooooops...wrong topic....

What ever the sec does, follow suit!  

8 conference games, do it!  
 

Allow fcs games into the end of October, do it!  
 

if the sec keeps divisions and ccg, do it.  We know that Espn  Sec/Acc are married, so what ever formula they use, do it!  From conference or division set up.  Number of conference games, championship game and format!  Do it, put the CFP in a bind imo!  

Usc ucla in the west, move a bottom feeder west team to the east.  Keep it the same otherwise.

It will be lame and unfair
