I would like more conference games, but the home/road imbalance is a real issue. The big 5 going to 9 games would be nice. P12, B12 and ACC(?) are already there. Lets go B10/SEC. With 14 teams, the SEC truly needs to go to 9. If they pulled the trigger, I think there would be pressure for B10 to follow.
Stupid? You would rather Iowa play UNI or Ball State instead of Illinois and Wisconsin? Maybe you get 1 less home conference game.....who cares, make it up in the pre-conference games. The B12 and P12 have 9 conference game schedules.

With teams not playing everyone in their league,the whole schedule is a crapshoot anyway,so the home/road imbalance might be offset by missing OSU,Wis,and PSU in the same year.
It would even out in the end.
please go to 9 game conference schedule! If other leagues are doing it, why can't the B1G?
