An article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer: www.cleveland.com/sports/csu/index.ssf/2012/05/cleveland_state_ponders_change.htmlThe writer suggests eliminating travel partners and playing one home and one road game per week. I do not like this idea, as it would increase travel time and travel costs for every school in the league. Just leave it as is, everyone keeps their travel partner, Valpo does not have one. Each team in conference adds two non-conference games. Thats my take

I'm trying to remember how it worked back in the Mid-Con (we had 9 teams for awhile). I think it might have been a hodge-podge with no discernible pattern. Of course your idea needs more filling out in my head before I can wrap my brain around it. Is every team going to be able to have the same number of 1-game weekends?

It worked for us in the Horizon for 7 years. I mean, we did have Youngstown, but...

What scheme did they use? Just curious.

Well, things wold be strange for Valpo, because with no travel partner, they would in theory have two weeks with no games. Now, I t the best solution is adding in one non conference game in both of those weeks, a la the BracketBuster that is thrown in there now
