re: SIAP: Mike Slive cowers down to status quo, changes South Carolina vs. Arkansas

Not responding to anyone in particular just some thoughts on some of the points mentioned...

Having one rotating slot from the other division is terrible. You go so far between games it's like some of the other teams aren't even in your conference.

Playing 9 conference games is even worse. Schedules will already be uneven between teams competing for a division championship, it will be worse if one has 5 home games and the other has 4. ETA: This also greatly affects the flexibility to schedule series against other BCS programs OOC.

Teams that play neutral site conference games are not forced to do so. If they want to give up a home game that's their decision.

The Big 12 didn't blow up because Nebraska and Oklahoma played two years and then were off two years. Playing twice every 4 years instead of every year didn't diminish the history between the schools nor the significance of the games when they did play.

The Big 12 melted down because of one school and their superiority complex.
