Conferences' basketball schedule format
There has been a trend for conferences to expand their men's basketball conference schedules from 16 to 18 to 20 to, at least for the Horizon League, 22.
I thought it might be interesting to make a log of how the different leagues are doing it. Some information was easier to find than others, so I just did the best I could. Please feel free to correct and I will update accordingly.
Here goes:
America East: Unclear what 2020-21 plans are after expansion to 10 schools. (2019-20: 16 games for 9 teams. Full double round robin.)
AAC: 18 games for 11 teams. Not a full double round robin.
A-10: 18 games for 14 teams. Not a full double round robin.
ASUN: 16 games for 9 teams. Full double round robin.
ACC: 20 games for 15 teams. Not a full double round robin.
Big 12: 18 games for 10 teams. Full double round robin.
Big East: 20 games for 11 teams. Full double round robin.
Big Sky: 20 games for 11 teams. Full double round robin.
Big South: 18 games for 11 teams. Not a full double round robin. Unclear what plans are for expansion to 12 teams in 2021.
Big Ten: 20 games for 14 teams. Not a full double round robin.
Big West: 20 games for 11 teams. Full double round robin.
CAA: 18 games for 10 teams. Full double round robin.
C-USA: 18 games for 14 teams. Not a full double round robin.
Horizon: 22 games for 12 teams. Full double round robin.
Ivy: 14 games for 8 teams. Full double round robin.
MAAC: 20 games for 11 teams. Full double round robin.
MAC: 18 games for 12 teams. Not a full double round robin.
MEAC: Unclear what 2021-22 plans are after reduction to 8 schools. (2019-20: 16 games for 11 teams. Not a full double round robin.)
MVC: 18 games for 10 teams. Full double round robin.
MW: 18 games for 12 teams. Not a full double round robin.
NEC: Presumably 18 games for 10 teams after reduction to 10 teams. Full double round robin. (2019-20: 18 games for 11 teams. Not a full double round robin.)
OVC: 18 games for 12 teams. Not a full double round robin.
Pac-12: 20 games for 12 teams. Not a full double round robin.
Patriot: 18 games for 10 teams. Full double round robin.
SEC: 18 games for 14 teams. Not a full double round robin.
SoCon: 18 games for 10 teams. Full double round robin.
SLC: 20 games for 13 teams. Not a full double round robin.
SWAC: Unclear what 2021-22 plans are after expansion to 12 schools. (2019-20: 18 games for 10 schools. Full double round robin.)
Sun Belt: 20 games for 12 teams. Not a full double round robin.
Summit: Unclear what 2021-22 plans are after expansion to 10 schools. (2019-20: 16 games for 9 teams. Full double round robin.)
WCC: 16 games for 10 teams. Not a full double round robin.
WAC: 16 games for 9 teams. Full double round robin.
Notes:
- The Horizon League is the only conference with 12 or more teams that still has a full double round robin.
- The WCC is the only conference with 10 or fewer teams that does not have a full double round robin.
