First of all in a conference of 14 (or possibly 16 in non football sports) I firmly believe we need to schedule to have everyone play everybody else as often as possible. So cross division games should be rotated EVERY year.

Football: 6 division games ( 3 home and 3 away) and 2 cross over games (1 home and 1 away). Rotate the 2 crossover games every year so everyone plays every other team every 3-4 years

Basketball assuming UTA and Little Rock are here:14 division games (7 home and 7 away) and 4 crossover games ( 2 at home and 2 away). Rotate the 4 crossover games every year so everyone plays every other team every 2 years

Baseball assuming UTA and Little Rock are here: 21 division games (7 3-game series) with 3 or 4 at home and 3 or 4 on road that will alternate each year. Most conferences won t play over 30 conference games so go with that—so 3 cross over series each year. For the teams that have 3 home/4 away in division they get 2 crossover series at home and 1 away. For those that have 4 division at home and 3 away they get 2 crossover on the road and 1 at home. Rotate the cross over series every year so within 3 years you play everyone in the other division

Football: Yes

Basketball: No to divisions. Only 4 D1 conference do divisions (ASUN, Big South, C-USA & SWAC).

Baseball: I'd consider doing what the SEC does and have 6 divisional series and 4 crossover series (rotating every year). Would be able to play everybody from the other division once in a 2-year span.

I would be surprised if we don t have divisions in basketball. The 6\4 setup in baseball means you would skip 1 division team each year. I don t see teams supporting that
