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.

Because they are writing the checks?

The money people will spend to avoid going to New Jersey.

…because you have to spend money to physically leave.

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

You were not joking.

You were not joking.

It appears we have found a loophole in the Covid 5th year of eligibility rules that applies to people who were coaching around that time.

We're bringing in Chris Mullin and Patrick Ewing as grad students.

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.

Expand the damn league to 12 already! Invite CCSU, Merrimack & LIU and be done with it. 22 league games.
