Big XVI
Northeast Quad:
Iowa St
Cincinnati
Missouri
West Virginia
Northwest Quad:
Air Force
Kansas
Kansas St
BYU
Southwest Quad:
Texas
Texas Tech
Baylor
TCU
Southeast Quad:
Oklahoma
Oklahoma St
South Florida
Louisville
Football would have a "rotating divisional" format:
Year 1 West/East Alignment:
Northwest/Southwest vs Northeast/Southeast
Year 2 North/South Alignment
Northwest/Northeast vs Southwest/Southeast
Year 3 Cross-compass Alignment
Northwest/Southeast vs Northeast/Southwest
Teams play all teams in their alignment = 7 conference games
Teams play one permanent rivalry or rotated inter-alignment game = 8 games
Optional rotated inter-alignment game depending on how many non conference games the conference wants = 9 games
Champions from each "division" play each other in championship game.
Basketball could follow the same format, home and away "in division" for 14 games; and half home half away against opposite division for a total of 22 conference games. Could hold the first two rounds at separate sites on Tue/Wed, a travel day Thr, and the Final Four in KC on Fri/Sat.
