Report indicates Big Ten considering 22 game league schedule for 2024-25

The expansion of the Big Ten to 18 teams may lead to more men’s basketball conference games next season. The Big Ten was the first conference to play 20 conference games in the history of Div…

If this goes through, likely no Gavitt Games going forward.

IMO, the two most important issues that will affect our AD’s scheduling of men’s basketball and football are this upcoming decision and Army’s decision of whether to stay independent or not.

Hoping the Big Ten stays at 20 games and Army stays independent.

Regardless, we can’t continue to schedule East Tennessee Catholic College and the likes going forward.

If this happens, we definitely need to beef up our schedules as Big Ten teams will be playing 25-27 major conference opponents yearly. We need to get closer to the 27 number than the current 25.

22 Big Ten games? Can barely get through 1

"Wow! Look at this league. Such parity, but superior parity. I mean, they just beat each other up in this gauntlet of a league. That's why the Big Ten deserves 14 teams in the Big Dance. Seriously, you think 15-18 USC wouldn't be at the top of just about every other league? The only problem is that they get so beat up during the regular season that they lose early in the NCAA because of fatigue. Clearly, that's why they haven't won a championship in almost 25 years."

Droogies! No time for the ol' blankety blank I'm just here to watch the Big Ten teams beat each other to a pulp.

Sign of things to come.

Lol 22 games of playing no one but each other will definitely help prepare them for the tourney.

That's cool, now we can have an 8-14 B10 team nab an 11 seed because they are just all really really good teams that beat up on each other but otherwise, ya, solid teams.
