I have UNH's schedule which as of right now only has one non D1 which could be changed to a 5th money game due to the budget cuts at UNH. I can announce the games that have been publicly announced..

UNH will open with Clemson on November 3rd.

UNH will be at Providence on November 18th.

I will say UNH will travel for their last two money games.

 

I would imagine that most coaches would like to have a solid idea of their roster before they complete their schedule.

 

Would think it is extremely difficult to be working on a schedule in September.

 

Based on what Lowell does every year, I can almost guarantee we see Rivier University, Fisher College, and Emerson College. And probably in that order.

Slightly OT, but Doug Gottlieb, who surprisingly has not been fired, is looking to put his team in the TBT because it’ll get him publici-….I mean…it’s good for the kids and program and is equivalent to the foreign tours.

I'd say maybe they can win enough to pay his buyout, but let's not kid ourselves, they would get wrecked in that tournament.

 

 

It looks like Albany will visit URI per this source (which does not list another recently confrmed neutral site game vs Tulsa). Rhody might also meet Vermont in a Florida MTE.

 

 

 

Maine will be in an MTE in DC during Thanksgiving weekend with American, Longwood & Siena.

 

 

How is Fordham and High Point considered a guarantee opponent? Did Fordham really not want to travel across the GW?

 

 

 

Haven’t seen it posted. Might be the only game we know of for sure at the moment for Binghamton.

 

Binghamton also going to Georgetown. Two buy games so far.

 

We are joining the 1980's Big East.

 

Umass Lowell heading to Wake Forest.

 

 

hey any more on the non conference for binghamton

 

Regular season expanding to 32 games.

You thought you hated the 2 non-D1 games your team plays? Get ready for some more!!!

 

Could we get in a scheduling agreement with another low major conference? It seems like that would be more beneficial than scheduling more DIIIs.

 

In a smaller 9-team leagues like the NEC and AE, exactly half the schedule will be non-conference games. Not sure how everyone finds 16 non-conference opponents a year moving forward.

I'd expect the the bigger leagues like the CAA and MAAC (13 teams) may even consider a full, 24-game round robin conference schedule. That still allows for 8 non-conference games.

 

Wouldn’t mind seeing the AE expand regular season. The OOC schedule has seemed to become tougher and tougher to fill and, quite frankly, no one wants to see more than the 2-3 games most seem to play against sub D1s already.

My proposal: same 16 game slate we already play, plus a four game-four year cycle:

• at 1, at 2, vs 3, vs 4
• at 5, at 6, vs 7, vs 8
• vs 1, vs 2, at 3, at 4
• vs 5, vs 6, at 7, at 8

Or however you want to mix up the games, but you get the point.

 

Already playing conference opponents twice, and maybe a third time in conference tournament, seems like enough. I'd rather see a rotating scheduling agreement among low D1 conferences like Patriot NEC MAAC Ivy like proposed above. Certainly no more D3 opponents.

 

I’d be happy with that too, I just find it less likely and harder to implement than a comparatively simple league mandated change to the conference schedule.

At the end of the day, I’m happy for more basketball, I just don’t care to see games against Lancaster Bible College or Finger Lakes School of Massage.
