I do think going to a nine game rotation with 3 traditional rivals and the rotation of the other 12 (6 a year) would add clarity and substance. You play one Power 4 Team at least and then you can have the two "cupcakes".
We all know that the SEC Baseball Tourney has become a coaches nightmare regarding using up pitcher's arms and Basketball has also lost relevance.
