Agree it's too big, but I think some just think it's the max because none have

ever gone bigger. And it makes sense that more schools = more potentially ranked games = more potential media payouts, so I think that's partly why leagues have blown past 10 or 12.

Why does everyone think 16 is a magic number for conference members?

because 15 is not enough and 17 too many

Not too big to allow everyone to eventually play everyone. 18 is basically 2

I think 16 is workable but once you get to 18-20+ I don’t even understand it anymore

16 is definitely too many for a penniless conference. There is no magical,

If you get bigger than 16, I think you need 10 conference games to justify

It's a way for less attractive schools to tether themselves to big name schools
