yes I'm fully aware that I could not click on the thread, but I have a compulsion to click whenever there are new posts on anything, it's a disease, sorry.

Well, let's see. If I did this right, there are 2,704,156 ways we can divide up into two 12-team conferences. And we've only seen like a hundred of them. This thread is just getting started!

You are only partially right. 2,704,156 is the number of ways to take 24 teams and make a single 12 team conference. But you are wanting 2, so take 2,704,156 and multiply it by 2 to get 5,408,312.

Wait a minute...but once I pick out the first 12, there's only one way the other 12 can fall, right? (I'm not always the best at real math. There's a reason I became a biologist.)

After I posted my last post, my wife and I went out. While we were out, I started thinking about that very same thing. There are 2,704,156 ways to fill one of the conferences. Then the remaining 12 will fill the other.

So yes, 2,704,156 + 1.
