ICYMI: Big 12 is discussing playing 20 league games

[CoachHines3]

I wonder by doing this if we would see less and less big 12 teams playing in November tournaments.

I would be down for this...especially if we can replace 2 of the crap games. Our SOS will be so high even a couple more losses shouldn't hurt resumes.

Just go to 22 games and bring back the divisions. Play home and home within your division and once outside your division. It would help with the travel challenges as well if you could prioritize out of division games to the weekends due to the longer travel distance.

* Not advocating for divisions in football, only basketball and other sports that play during the week.

Beyond that, Yomark wants the focus on making BIGXII the major basketball conference. Likely won't work out but man it makes sense IF...

Florida State leaving the ACC would have massive ramifications for the future of college athletics

FSU desperately wants out of the ACC and its 20-year contract with ESPN, but every turn of conference realignment brings something unexpected.

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark has even focused on basketball...

Then there is the Big 12, which would gladly snap up just about any and every ACC school it could to build a massive, nationwide operation.

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark has even focused on basketball, which he views as undervalued. A Big 12 with basketball powers that include Arizona, Kansas, Baylor, UNC, Duke, Virginia, Louisville and so on would easily be the best in the country.
