wouldn't a pod of 4 teams give you 3 permanent teams ? The geographic footprint of the conference is getting so large that to me it makes sense. I doubt they would do it but would it make sense to have 2 Western division pods and 2 Eastern division pods ? There would definitely have to be some shuffling in order to keep some sense of parity though ..... It's interesting and I'm curious as to what they will do but would we HAVE to go to 9 conference games ? That won't be easy for us
