re: 2012 Football Schedule?

I hope it stays at 8 conference games. That way everyone plays the same number of home and away games. There are already enough scheduling inequalities due to the permanent cross division opponent, some teams having 5 home games while their competition only has 4 could compound the problem.

Not to mention going to 9 games would probably make good OOC matchups more difficult to schedule. Most teams want/need 7 home games for their budget and if you have 5 conference road games it means all of your OOC games would have to be at home that season. It would take away the flexibility schedule makers currently have.
