So you play everyone once and rotate 5 teams to play twice every 3 years?
3x2 = 6 --> locked home-and-home against your "football pod" (e.g., ISU, KU, KSU, and Colorado)
2x2 = 4 --> rotating home-and-home against two other of the remaining 12 Big 12 teams (six-year cycle)
12x1 = 12 --> home OR away against the remaining 12 teams
So ISU could end up in a home/away with KU, KSU, Colorado and say randomly TCU and WVU and then once with everybody else. This, of course, could blow up if you suddenly are adding Gonzaga.
Anything to reduce the number of boring games in November and December against low majors I am cool with.
I think you need a few of those as a
de facto preseason.
It is fun to let some of the guys at the back of the bench have a chance to play in real games, too.
But after 3-4 of them per season I'm done and want some real opponents.
Orlando can't come fast enough to see what this team can do against its peers.
