Honestly, I was surprised when the SWAC announced 10-15 years ago

that it was going to hold a CCG even though it was a violation of the bylaws. I understand the reasons why the SWAC opted to not participate in the NCAA DI-FCS Playoffs, but it was rather ballsy of them to openly defy the NCAA. I have wondered if the SWAC had not made that decision to hold a CCG, then would the Big XII have gotten the idea to tweak the bylaws so it could hold a CCG with only 10 members. Interestingly and oddly enough, the SWAC divides up its 10 members into 2 divisions of 5 even though it plays a round robin conference schedule.

Divisionless conferences? -- Millpoint 11/05/2018 9:50PM

The ACC submitted rules change request on this a few years ago. -- HOO86 11/06/2018 1:46PM

So basically everybody with more than 10 teams opposed it. ** -- reestuart 11/06/2018 4:35PM

Jim Delany opposed it. -- HOO86 11/06/2018 4:46PM

It could have been something as simple as this -- VTHokie2000 11/07/2018 1:12PM

Doesn't seem like it was a hard sale to the other conferences. -- reestuart 11/06/2018 5:30PM

While I mostly like the Big 12 set-up (round-robin rules) -- OU_Sooner 11/06/2018 10:31AM

I understand the financial aspect of conference with 10 members -- VTHokie2000 11/07/2018 1:17PM

Agreed -- OU_Sooner 11/07/2018 2:17PM

Yeah, that rematch could end up screwing the league. If it's a split -- reestuart 11/06/2018 12:15PM

Championship games are a HUGE payday. Can't give it up ** -- 33laszlo99 11/06/2018 10:27AM
