I think you're all being too bland/kind. The February-thru-early-June NCAA calendar playing season was clearly a rig-job by NCAA-SEC-PAC 12 to favor the warm weather schools and allow them to play almost their entire pre-conference seasons (Febr & March) on their home fields v. traveling northern teams. One can only imagine the lobbying efforts by SEC and PAC12 to get that done, plus the timid non-efforts by the BigTen to let it happen. It will be fun if we see UCLA sent to play at MN, MI, or NW's Windy City on, say, February 9! LOL My hope is that Northern teams will get stronger. With its TV network, the BigTen should lobby for a season from early April to early August. The Big Ten could get it done. If SEC schools don't want to travel, they can stay home.
