[Husker] New B1G scheduling

[Andy Knipp]

OK, I am thinking about the 14 team conference and how the B1G may handle
things.  Does anyone know how the SEC handles 14 teams ? 

With the current setup,  NU plays each division team (5 more), plus
designated rival (PSU) and 2 of the remain 5 teams in the other division,
totaling 8 games, plus 4 non-conf games, B1G champ and bowl makes a 14 game
season.

Toss on more team each division and you have 2 choices:

	An 8 game conf schedule, with designated rival, leaves room for 1
team from the other division, played 2 years in a row, takes 12 years to
scroll through the teams.  Not workable. You could ditch the designated
rival and scroll though playing 2 of 7 teams every 2 years, a 6 or 8 	year
cycle.  Of course the B1G would have to rejigger the divisions because they
will never go without UM/OSU playing every year. 

	A 9 game conf schedule seems more likely to me.  Keep designated
rival and then play 2 of 6 teams every 2 years, keeps the cycle at 6
years.  But that will mean that teams drop a non-conference team (I do not
see 15 game seasons becoming the norm, if they are even 	allowed


Are there any other scenarios out there ?
