That means 7 or 8 games in three weeks on either side of Thanksgiving and start of conference play. I suppose 1 could be played between Christmas and New Years.
Other conferences that have an even number of teams can fit 20 games in 10 weeks.
I'd love for the BE to go to 11 teams and include UD as the final team but what I'm outlining above is a real problem from a scheduling perspective.

They can't go to 20 conference games with ten teams. So, however they expand, they will need to IF they want to go to 20.
