Probably so. I wonder if the Big 12 goes no divisions/pods like the SEC, BIG & ACC are doing in the future?ISU will still get screwed over in the schedule.
I don't think so. We took it in the shorts this year, but got rewarded with better bball sched. I think JP got a "gentleman's handshake" that the FB schedule will be easier next year too. Which I think JP knew would be a good thing net-net, because we are liable to be a lot better in 2024 than 2023.ISU will still get screwed over in the schedule.
With how quickly this year’s schedule came out, I wouldn’t put it past the conference brass not to release it until the middle of August.The Big 10 announced their 2024-28 future opponents today has their been any talk/speculation when the Big 12 would be releasing theirs with the 4 new teams joining? Big 12 going to do the "Flex Protect" Model like the B1G?
What? And completely waste 500 pages of pod and division suggestions from the Realignment Megathread?Probably so. I wonder if the Big 12 goes no divisions/pods like the SEC, BIG & ACC are doing in the future?
Maybe Big 12 is panning further expansion, so needs to wait on scheduling.i dont get how the big 10 can get their schedule together for 2024-2028 so early whereas the big 12 will sit here and wait until may to release theirs for 2024.
maybe it was easier for the big 10 because they already had the schedule mostly made and just had to plug in oregon/wash but even so, they had already released the opponents this summer.Maybe Big 12 is panning further expansion, so needs to wait on scheduling.
I'm mostly joking.
Pehaps, but please note the Big Ten hasn't announced the dates yets. Just home and away opponents.Wonder if the big 12 is letting the sec and big 10 drop first and avoiding what is considered the Big games for them and putting our better match ups on weeks that could pull better slots.
Sounds like they may be considering a protected rivalry or two for each team, which I think is a good thing. Question is if you could pick 2, what are the protected rivalries you'd want for ISU? I'd have to go with a couple original Big 8/12 teams for tradition, KSU and OSU. KU is tempting but we have the BB rivalry with them that is pretty healthy and I think we align pretty good with KSU and OSU. Will be interesting to see though.From @theshadow post on Yormark at BB Media Days:
*Football scheduling parameters will include geography, competitive balance, history, and rivalries. Work ongoing.

ACC releasing their new schedule model on Monday:
The big 12, for whatever reason, seems to lag WAY behind in these things.
ISU will still get screwed over in the schedule.
