BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Divisional play is on the way for Southeastern Conference women's basketball.
Beginning with the 2009-10 season, the SEC women will go to the same format as the men — a 16-game league schedule with division rivals playing each other on a home-and-home basis every season and playing members of the other division on a home-and-home basis every two years.

Not a big fan of divisions for basketball...I have heard that they haven't decided whether to change the seeding for the SEC Tourney or not...The coaches favor leaving it the way it is...

As a fan of a 12-team conference that DOES have divisions, I really like it. It means you play every team in the conference every year, with the most geographically related schools playing home-and-home each year.
Of course, it also means for the SEC that the number of non-conference games will drop by two each season, with the addition of two more conference games. That means there will likely be slightly fewer big name matchups outside conference play.

In the old setup you played every team in the conference each year and 3 teams twice...One of those three was a designated rivalry that you played home and home every year the other two rotated every two years...
And yes it will hurt on the OOC games...

| I love it for Arkansas, but it's not fair to the teams in the East, imo.

| But in the rotational scheme of things, UK would then replace UT and LSU with games against Bama and Florida.

The way to improve your team is to challenge your players and staff by play against better competition. Not only will it help current players, it will help in recruiting.
