The B1G being run by no testicle hypocrites ?

[4down20]

I think these other conferences play 9 games to hide from the G5 conferences and possible upsets. They need them for the 6 extra wins it provides them.

neutral site games get paid every year, what's the issue?

I thought you were against losing home games? So why are you for them losing home games? Pick a side. Are these your flip flops?

I don't make the schedules. The home games provide revenue for the program. They still get that revenue from the neutral site games. Thus the reason they do neutral sites every year possible.

So what's the next reason you guys are going to throw out?

I hope it's something new! I'm not holding my breathe though.

 

[7Samurai13]

The economics are better for the neutral sites plus it's good exposure for recruiting. We need more not less good neutral site games.

9 game conference schedules have absolutely no effect on quality out of conference games. Anyone trying to say otherwise is stupid.

God damn it... I asked a simple and reasonable question...

OP started this thread to troll about the B1G's scheduling practices, now it's evolved into ripping the SEC. So, who has it right @AlaskaGuy?

You have 3 other conferences to choose from...

But people who claim 8 game conferences schedules do aren't stupid?

No, people who claim that 8 game conference schedules mean we get more quality OOC games are stupid too.

You typed that with your tongue in your cheek didn't you.

Let's do some simple math. Mind you these are home & away games every year .. not just home games.

Conference A plays a 6 game conference schedule.

Team Alpha
Team Bravo
Team Charlie
Team Delta
Team Echo
Team Foxtrot
Team Golf
Team Hotel


Conference B plays a 7 game conference schedule.

Team India
Team Juliet
Team Kilo
Team Lima
Team Mike
Team November
Team Oscar
Team Papa

Now what conference is more likely to suffer more losses inside its own conference?

I didn't say that...I said the economics and logistics for neutral site games are better than home and home.

You lose again. I started this thread ... hence the article in the OP to show that the B1G was being hypocrites by allowing Fresno St. to count as a P5 team. You really should stay away from threads like these seeing how you have to think first before posting.

This is actually true for some teams, but not all. the SEC and ACC on the east coast have some rivalries that happen every year. Florida vs FSU, Clemson vs South Carolina, Georgia vs GT, etc. For these teams, going to 9 conference games probably would decrease the quality of their OOC schedule because they are much less likely to schedule the 2nd P5 OOC game most of them schedule today. In a 12 game season, that means these teams would be playing 11 P5 games every year. More likely is that they will stop scheduling that 11th P5 game.

FYI - even if you don't answer the question, we all still know.

Now you're talking! Preach on brother. More OOC games, not less. Invite the less fortunate into the stadiums for the slaughter. My team will go anywhere and get slaughtered for a cool million.

And only schedule the conference teams that are worth a damn. They've been sucking off the good conference team's tits for too long.

It makes so much sense. I hope our conference Brass doesn't succumb to the pressure from the pussy conferences.

You're not gonna answer the question then?

You said we need more quality neutral site games. We need more quality non conference games regardless of the location. An 8 game or a 9 game conference schedule has no effect on that unless the University is choosing to duck quality games.

Separate issues. Your trying to make them one and put words in my mouth...doesn't work that way. My statement stands as it is with no add on conditions.

There are teams that choose to play 2 quality non conference games (or what should be quality). Michigan State was supposed to play Alabama and Notre Dame but ended up with BYU instead of Bama. USC has Notre Dame and Bama this year. When is the last time Florida played a quality OOC team not wasn't FSU or Miami?

So what exactly is your reason for following me around on this board day after day, post after post?
