The current Big Ten basketball schedule doesn’t make everybody happy. It means that some major rivalry games, like Indiana-Purdue, Ohio State-Michigan or Michigan-Michigan State, might only happen once a year. Depending on how the home and homes shake out, there could be a massive strength of schedule difference between squads. And Big Ten expansion has diluted conference strength, messing with RPI scores.
One possible solution? Just play more Big Ten conference games. And according to ESPN, the Big Ten is considering it. At least, according to Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo.
From ESPN:
"I personally see us going to a 20-game schedule," Tom Izzo told ESPN on Monday.
