This would allow schools to play more marquee OOC games. Schools would now be able to schedule 15 OOC games. Also, what is the status of Wichita St.?

I changed my mind. I'll wait to see what happens in 2024-2025.

Yes, after we add Wichita State go to 16 games. Play teams in your football division twice and teams in the other division once. Wichita State in Navy's spot.

I'll pass on divisions. I would want to play Memphis, Cincy, and SMU twice every year.

Holding my nose this season.

I don't think that Wichita State is playing very well this year. Besides, I think it would serve the conference better to just add another football only team and another sport team (i.e., 14 - football, 12 - basketball).

If you're going to pretend to be a P-6 conference, you may as well look the part ... 07-coffee3

Add WSU and do 16, H&H with your FB division and then 6 with the opposite division

Add Wichita but stay at 18 conference games.

Each year, teams get to pick which 7 opponents they play twice, and which 4 they play once. Teams pick in order of regular-season standings from previous season.

This idea has promise.

This is making insanely good sense to me.

Wrong direction.
We should go to 20 games, not 16.

Agree, add Wichita State, Dayton, and VCU and move to 20 conference games.

North: UConn, Temple, Cincinnati, Dayton, ECU, VCU, Memphis
South: SMU, Houston, USF, UCF, Tulane, Tulsa, Wichita State

Everyone in the division plays twice for 12 games, 1 cross division division home and home, and other cross division teams are played once.

This setup earns the league around 4 to 6 bids every season, protects rivalry games, and eliminates some of the the travel burden.

Conference tournament in the newly renovated arena in Cincinnati starting in 2019.

Do all of the above and the conference might be taken seriously in basketball. The A-10 will lose two of its better teams which moves the American in closer to the Power-5/Big East. The league hasn't even come close to this level of respect since Louisville, Cincinnati, and UConn were battling it out in year one.

Dayton and VCU have a good deal in the A10. They haven't showed any interest *At All* in seeking out a new situation except for the nBE, which isn't interested in them.

A schedule draft? Now that's creative.

I proposed the same earlier in the thread. While it sounds counterproductive to have UConn and Cincy only playing Memphis once, it really would help build rivalries in this young conference. I know I never felt the rivalries in CUSA until they switched to this scheduling philosophy.

Without expanding by one, I like the idea of a 20 game conference slate where you play every school home and road, but that cuts back on OOC opportunities. Not a problem for ECU, who would replace some HBCUs with conference games, but for other schools that play higher profile OOC games I see how it could be an issue.

If we could get Army FB and BYU all sports, I'd agree, but it doesn't look like that is in the cards.

But don't ignore WSU if they have a down year or two (and they're top 100 rpi right now, btw). Because of the size of their fan base and their basketball resources they'll be good more often than not.

RE: Should the AAC go to a 16-game schedule in basketball?
I like the scheduling based on the previous year's regular season record. Problem with 11 teams is that it will create unbalanced scheduling when trying to do most selection process. 7 and 4 won't work out because technically you're working with 10 playable teams . 12 schools would work better because the top 6 of last year's standings play each other twice and play the bottom 6 once. (and vice-versa)

I guess they could currently do a system where the 1 seed plays everyone once, and plays everyone but the bottom 2 seeds twice. I haven't completely done the math, but I would assume it would work all the way around from top seed to bottom

MB, I kinda got lost in your answer.

With our current 11-team alignment, a team plays 8 teams twice (total: 16) and 2 teams once (total: 2; grand total: 18). With a 12-team grouping you'd play 7 teams twice (14) and 4 teams once (4; total 18). That's going to be the case no matter what, as long as you have an 18-game conference schedule, as all of the premier leagues currently do.

My idea doesn't change the math, it simply rewards the better teams (from last season, of course) by letting them pick which teams they want to face twice and which teams they want to face once. Obviously, once you get past the #6 or #7 seed, there's only going to be a small # of options available to choose from. By the time you get to #11 or #12, there won't be any options because the schedules are determined by the other teams' choices.
