If EVERYONE is going to play an 11 "real" game schedule,


if everyone is playing an 11 game conference schedule, every single conference winner should get into the playoffs with 4 or so wildcards.

of course, that would make too much sense.

IMO the only reason is money. If 10 games means more money, then that is why they will go to 10 games. If 10 games eliminates too many home games, and they lose money, they won't do it.


thats the thing though.

they are assuming more conference games for the Big 10 net will automatically equal more revenue. I don't necessarily think that locking themselves into more games where bad Big 10 teams play eachother is going to get people to demand the network across the nation.

I don't know if the goal is people "demanding it across the nation". It is simply more money.
