If we indeed add a 12th Olympic sport team for 2016-17 will it be 2 6 team divisions?

I would rather see 1 12 team league. You can still play closer teams twice and others once. For basketball for example if Coastal is added you could play 5 eastern teams twice and 6 western schools once --- 16 games.

In baseball I would like a 12?team conference and play 10 of the 11 teams -- 5!home and 5 away or even play all 11 which would be 33 games

Divisions for Oly sports suck. I know the SLC had 12 teams for baseball and alternated 5H/6A one year then 6H/5A series the next. 33 games in conference.

I hope it's divisions. More OOC MBB games is good for us.

How would you seed a tournament? If the 2 top teams played 2 games and split and they have the same record?

I'd leave it alone. The SLC did this for a few years and it sucked.

We'll take our chances

Tie breaker in the OVC currently takes it to the records against the 3d place team, then 4th, then 5th, etc.

Since most larger leagues are scrapping divisions in Olympic sports, I'm sure we will.

But Benson has said repeatedly that they want to form divisions.

For football; thus giving us a CCG.

No. His recent statement is getting to 12 for divisions in oly sports.

You don't have to have official divisions just schedule that way.
Have all twelve in the conference tournament or top eight.
No way to have an even schedule without round robin which sucks past nine teams.

With twelve you'd still play each team. You'd play each team in your division home/home and play each team in the opposite division once alternating home games each year. I don't know if you'd separate conference tournament by division or by overall conference best records for seeding but I would think it would be best records.

There will be three four-team divisions:

East - App, Coastal, GS, GSU
Central - USA, Troy, ULL, ULM
West - TXST, stAte, UTA, UALR

Divisions for olympics are ok.

Division winners and next two highest overall records, regardless of division,
get first round byes while remaining eight teams play first round.

First round winners play top four cedes in the second round.

Egads! So everybody gets a trophy.

For basketball I like the reduced conference schedule with only 16 games. Since you're so limited it should help travel budgets a little which may help with bringing in higher level opponents to your home slate which all of us need. With baseball, it should fill in the schedule and get rid of the stupid play your rival twice ignorance we've been living with.
