It would advantageous to focus on scheduling too 150 teams we have some connection with. Need to mine Ash and Kenny’s relationships for games. I’d focus on the Big East and Catholic schools over the big state football schools Close proximity focus: Seton Hall, G’town, St John, Maybe Raft could help a little with the Hall. As mentioned, Baptiste in Georgetown makes sense A team like BC would benefit from a challenging game but likely W against us. Providence owes us so guilt them into a game DePaul - Bradshaw help here with admin? Butler is worth an ask as an old conference opponent; would be a long shot but a Hinkle Palestra sales job (even a 2:1) would be good West Coast trip to St Mary. Schedule USF as a championship reunion game I have to be honest, I feel like if any of those teams were interested in scheduling us it would’ve happened already. Sure, go ahead and try but I doubt the issue in the past has been lack of imagination. |

So the AD, who has been here for one year, should follow your ASSumptions that the Interim AD and Dr Denim and his birdhouse gave it their best and we should just resolve to schedule with folks we have no connection with like ETSU and Furman? Ok, thanks for your usual useless input. |

Your post was filled with a ton of hopeful drivel but yeah knock the guy in touch with reality.
Of all those teams mentioned, maybe DePaul. And should keep the west coast trips to a minimum unless you’re getting a prime time game. Money is tight.

I think the point is...there are schools we COULD get to play that can get more fans into The Gola than Fairleigh Dickinson. If we are just going to resign ourselves to playing scrubs and accepting it, then we shouldn't be surprised when March rolls around and we've been mediocre in the A10 and hoping we aren't in the PIG. Current situation with college sports notwithstanding, I expect our new AD and coach to figure out a way to get a game or two at The Gola (or Palestra) with quality OOC teams each year. |

If there is a season St.John’s has already said they will only be playing 5 or 6 games at MSG. I look forward to being in attendance at Carnesecca Arena . |

St John's Rutgers Seton Hall Pitt G-Town Maryland Penn State UConn Boston College West Virginia Virginia Tech Virginia Ohio St. Considering Penn State was just on the 2018-19 schedule and dumped us in the eleventh hour, might be safe to assume they won't play us. I am thrilled at the St Johns game and hope to be able to get there as well. GTown or UConn at the Palestra would have been sweet as long as we are dreaming big. Seton Hall is more important to me than Rutgers but either one would be a great 2 for 1. |

Jon is so late to the news! This plus the repeat (from April 9th post by him) that we are playing St. Francis NY makes me think that Jon is on Summer Hiatus and packing it in for a little while. Add to his "interesting" A10 evaluation and Jon is having a rough week. I guess Jon's not seeing Clark as a starter? Doesn't matter Jack should be the leading scorer and most minutes played if he remains healthy all season. For the record (today...things could always change) I see GW in 14th place and maybe 4 teams including La Salle in a tight race for 10th through 13th with 7-11 records. Another two just above them with 8-10 records. |

Another two just above them with 8-10 records. It’s hard to fault him for not having someone coming off 2 ACL tears projected as a leading scorer. Hard to pinpoint this conference going into next year. Fordham doesn’t look great. But outside of that, a lot of unknowns. |

Saying Jack Clark is going to play substantial minutes and be the leading scorer after he played nine games almost two years ago is something else. Hope he is everything some of us hope he is.

"Doesn't matter Jack should be the leading scorer and most minutes played if he remains healthy all season."
I'm surprised my statement was taken out of context and not properly stated.
Yes I said he SHOULD be the leading scorer if he remains healthy ( after two surgeries and only playing nine games). He is that good.
Yes I said he SHOULD play substantial minutes if he remains healthy because he is that valuable.
I know Jack has been cleared to resume practicing more than a month ago.

As i said before the only thing I'm worried about with Jack is putting to much weight and muscle on his body with the knee injuries because with his size and abilities "He will play substantially a lot of minutes" with out any doubt....along with Cliff athleticism and activity this team can be dangerous!
But we are depending on 2 players who have not played in quite awhile along with injuries...

I'd be shocked if the Cayman Island Games happen this fall given the state of budgets and restricted travelling most schools are putting in place for sports.

Thanks for clarifying.
FYI, this is where I pulled that information.
Wonder if the "tack-on games" just aren't considered part of the event or aren't required to be anymore. Interesting rule nonetheless to hopefully allow more flexibility with scheduling. Probably does low mid majors a disservice though.
Also, the A10 MW already released the games for this upcoming season which had Air Force playing St Joes. However, maybe since it's a multi year series St Joes deferred to the following season.
We will find out soon enough but overall, its hard to complain about the OOC this year.

I read that tomorrow (July 8 - Wednesday) that the Ivy League was going to make an announcement as to whether it was going to play fall sports or not. (And possibly the spring, as well) The expectation at the time the story was run was that they were probably going to cancel everything for the fall.
I realize that the decision is largely going to rely on the information they have available at the moment and the advice they receive from all of their sources, but I wonder if other leagues are going to follow suit after the Ivy League announces its decision? The story also said that Swarthmore College has already cancelled its fall sports programs.

re: Ivy League- I remember people (myself included admittedly) thinking they were jumping the gun when they ended their sports seasons back in March, including the Ivy tournament, when really they were just 4-5 days ahead of everyone else.
My guess is everyone is still desperately trying to figure out how to get football to work, which is why they haven't taken action on anything else yet. But really, that's going to have to come pretty soon. I don't think there's any reason to formally cancel the "Winter" sports yet, but I also think it's a pretty safe bet the season won't just be starting in mid November like normal.
