"If this comes to fruition, the Big Ten would likely have standings for all 14 of its members, making each team play eight of its 12 games against Big Ten opponents. Since the Big Ten formed an alliance with the ACC and Pac-12 in terms of scheduling for the future, games against out of a conference opponents could come strictly from those conferences to flesh out the other four games, or at least a handful of them on the schedule."

Doubt it. P1G teams won't give up that 7th home game (or sometimes 8 home games, like Michigan has this year with all 3 OOC games at home).

True that. All P5 schedule means likely 6 home games. Their overblown egos, self-serving nature and endless greed is our insurance policy, love it.

I would be surprised if all three conferences agree to schedule only B1G, AAC & PAC12 for OOC games, they need those Mid-Major games for bowl eligibility.

And they’re all used to 7-8 home games, not 6. Revenue is king.

I thought they got rid of that requirement so that the Big 12 could keep holding a championship game.

The way the NCAA is losing power I'm not sure why they would even want to battle over something so trivial. You don't need divisions to figure out which two conference teams are the best teams and deserve to play in the championship game. Just go no divisions and the teams with the two best conference records get to play in the title game.

It seems to a conference without divisions doesn't need a championship game. To know which school is best, just look at the top of the standings.

Of course, I view post-season conference tournaments (such as in basketball) contrived as well.

"could" is reaching really hard for a click bait conclusion.

8 conference games and two "Alliance" OOC games, leaving two OOC games for the schools to schedule themselves is a lot more likely than OSU accepting just being handed a twelve game schedule like an NFL franchise.

RE: B1G considering eliminating divisions
I think doing away with divisions in football would be a terrible idea. The way it is now, when you get to November, usually at least half the teams in the MAC still have a real chance to make the championship game. That keeps hope and interest alive and it makes for much more interesting midweek games. Otherwise, many years we could be down to only 3 or 4 teams still having a chance to make the championship game.

If we made this move, I think Miami would choose, Ohio, Ball State, and BG.
