Pac-12 basketball scheduling changes might be on the way sooner rather than later.
Jon Rothstein of Fan Rag Sports is reporting the Pac-12 is considering a new scheduling method for the 2018-19 season that tries to ensure that the top schools in the conference face each other biannually avoiding the pre-planned “skips” that the current rotating schedule produces.
In the new method, per Rothstein, the Pac-12’s six travel partners — ASU/Arizona, Oregon/Oregon State, etc. — would stay intact and be ranked from best to worst each year.
The No. 1 pairing — the strongest pairing — would have a home-and-home against the Nos.
