Conference USA is changing their conference scheduling in basketball, and they’re doing it in a very big way.
It could change the way conferences schedule their seasons forever.
Or it could create a trainwreck.
But the purpose behind their new method is sound, and it could benefit the WCC.
Starting next season, here’s how the 14 C-USA teams will play their in-conference schedule:
- Each team will play every other team in conference once, and play their travel partner twice.
- For the last four conference games, the teams will be split into three tiers based on the standings (1-5, 6-10, 11-14)
- Each team will play the other teams in their tier once.
