[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129469992, member: 1500287"] Divisions with permanent crossovers can also result in rematches. I seriously doubt that if they get deregulation approved that they will go ahead with expansion because the need for a new data point will have been achieved if they get a CCG with 10 teams. Expansion may occur down the road but it would not be because they need another data point. Expansion would not be urgent. The constant in this debate is that the conference does not want to expand with the available teams out there. If the conference wants to expand they did not need to pursue deregulation, they could simply add two teams and be done with it. The fact that their first option has been to pursue deregulation and not expansion clearly indicates their preference to me. I personally prefer 10 teams but going to 12 would not be the end of the world nor would it make the league stronger or immune to being raided by other conferences. I don't pretend to know what is going to happen like some do. This is my opinion based on how I read what has been said. [/QUOTE]
