I have been reading a lot on this board lately about the scheduling of Sat-Mon, Sun-Tues, or Thurs-Sat games, that quick, 48-hr turnaround. Point is well taken, but showing my age I am wondering if anyone remembers the way-back-when scheduling, 70s and maybe early 80s, when the B1G scheduled every team to play league games on a particular schedule with the 48 hr turnaround. B1G did it a couple of ways as I recall. There were some seasons that the games were Thursday-Saturday, and some seasons in which games were Saturday-Monday. I understood this scheduling was deemed best for the "student-athletes" in order to minimize time away from campus and classes. Back when the Big Ten was actually 10, there were five groups of "traveling partners." (IU and tO$U, Wisc/Minny, Ill/Iowa, UM/MSU, and PU/NU) Each week, you either had 2 home games or 2 road games, switching with your traveling partner. Example, Thurs IU at Wisc and tO$U at Minny, then Sat games would be IU at Minny and tO$U at Wisc. Exception was when you played your traveling partner, then that was the only game. I don't remember hearing about the quick turn-around, I suppose because it was the same for every team every week. Now, it seems like a big deal.
