RE: FBS Conferences That Want 11 Team AAC CCG Waiver Permanent

The Big Ten was expecting to finish a 6-year rotation in 2021 where every team played everybody else at least twice and at least once at home. Then start a new 6-year rotation in 2022. So since they were starting a new cycle in 2022 anyway, it seemed like the logical year to switch to a divisionless format instead where they would start playing 5 permanent rivals every year and play the other 8 teams every other year.
I thought this idea had a lot of momentum in 2019 but now I am not so sure. The 2020 schedule got screwed up and teams did not play everybody they were supposed to. Sometimes I wonder if the Big Ten might try to tweak the 2022 schedule to make up for the missed games in 2020. But now I have a feeling the Big Ten will just forget about it and just push forward with the old plan and change nothing.
They may or may not opt to go divisionless---but my point is I doubt they are still adamantly opposed to a rule allowing divisionless CCG's. It might require specific language to address any concerns they might have---but I suspect the Big10 would be much more supportive this time around.
