You have to wonder if these schedules will ever be played or if further expansion from another league or leagues collapse will make today's announcement null and void.

Initial thought - I like that some mediocre western division team won't get into the championship game over 2nd and 3rd place eastern division teams that are better and more deserving.

This seems relevant: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw- ... 1686346028

Maybe there's a way to fix Kevin Warren's fuck up by having November "night" games in LA, Eugene, and Seattle.

He gave away a championship game that wasn't his to give away, costing the league $40M and agreed to November night games against member school wishes.

Could we see 11pm games from LA?

I like dropping the divisions, except Penn St doesn't have to play UM an the Suckeyes every year.

The expansion is awful, but canning divisions is great.

I think it stinks, but I'm still not happy PSU is in the conference...and don't get me started about Maryland.

PROGRE$$.

Add two more teams and split it back into divisions of members 1-10 and 11-20. Play all teams in your division and 1 crossover game/year.

So the conference championship game will be played in early January? Maybe in Pasadena? They should have a parade the morning of the game.
