Wow, that’s nice that those schools are giving a cut of their Big Ten deal to the players that are doing the traveling

I wonder if the women will have the same west coast breakouts and go out there at the same time as the men. That would allow for one flight per school per season.
So would Washington Oregon make the trip to Michigan and play MSU/Michigan along the lines of a Thurs/Sun?
Something like that is my expectation, yes.
Yeah, probably Wed/Thr and Sat/Sun. I guess Fri/Sun could also happen but probably wouldn’t be as likely.

FWIW I think the Pac 12 model was Thur/Sat and Fri/Sun
I don’t think the Pac12 ever played on Fridays.
they definitely did. I live out here and watch a fair amount of Pac 12 and WCC
EDIT: they definitely almost never did. oops

Maybe once or twice, but the normal rotation was a Thursday and a weekend game AFAIK.

Pulling up Arizona’s schedule and they were almost exclusively Thu/Sat or Thu/Sun
Yeah I see that now. Just a handful of Friday games this year. I wonder if that changed this year or in recent years, I could have sworn they had Thur/Sat and Fri/Sun format. Not sure what I think I’ve been watching on Friday nights 
Just scanned some past schedules and not a lot of Sunday games either.

Honestly, at this point they should just go back to an 18-game season. Play 16 teams once and one rival twice. Playing three teams twice seems pointless and just makes the schedules unbalanced.

Hear me out… Every team plays each other once on a neutral court 
I’d rather try to do something more creative than less creative, but the travel really makes it hard to do any sort of flex scheduling thing.
I agree. You alternate the home/road year after year. You might want to do more but will it matter at all if there’s more expansion???

I enjoy that the Big Ten has added seven schools since 2011 and yet Illinois is still the first alphabetically.

A little unfair of the Big 10 to give USC and UCLA an extra away game against Michigan because we are going to pack their houses
