Adam Zagoria tweeted that the Big Ten is exploring a 22-game conference schedule. It could potentially end the Gavitt Games, as well as any replacement for the ACC/B1G Challenge.

Wonder if other mega conferences will follow suit and lower the amount of cupcakes they schedule.

Might not be good for the mid majors of the world who rely on those games as a big part of their budgets

Instead of cupcakes it will likely be games like the current MD-UCLA series that falls by the wayside….though that one will soon be a conference game anyway. Maybe they won’t be looking to schedule Georgetown now. So scrap playing the school a few miles away to play schools thousands of miles away. Welcome to the future of college sports.

Well if they go the route of dropping the student-athlete facade, run a 50 or 60 game regular season.  May Madness will be fun!

4-year home-and-home with UVA to join that, can't knock the commitment to trying to play the big local schools https://x.com/Terrap...929211439980895

The selection committee has made it clear that strength of non-conference schedule is an emphasis, and given the expansion of conferences (particularly in terms of geography) it makes sense to schedule more OOC games within your region.

That sounds pretty weak compared to some of the other fields it has had but I suppose the 8th team could be a blueblood

If I were guessing I'd say that they'll try to get the 8th team from the rebuilt Pac-12, so perhaps it'll be Gonzaga or SDSU. I think they prefer to avoid having two teams from the same conference in this thing, but that's getting harder to do with the expansion going on, as evidenced by them already having two Big 12 teams.
