That's how the Big Ten used to do it: not the number of conference series, but every conference series was a 4-game series with 7-inning doubleheaders on Saturday. That was until around 2000 I believe and the Big Ten was more like a mid-major conference around that time.
44 league games means we play 11 of the 12 B1G members, all in a 4 game series. Brutal on college pitching staffs to play 4 games in 48 hours unless 1 of the 4 is a 7-inning game. Still, that's taxing on a staff. Pretty sure some JUCO conferences do the 7-inning deal on doubleheader days.
11 weeks of games takes us right to the usual time frame of conference tournaments. It'll be interesting to see if the B1G has a conference tournament, or not, and how that works for auto bids, etc since B1G teams RPI's/SOS's will take a hit without OOC games.
