NCAA made this mess, they need to fix it. But they are to afraid of the P5 so we have what we have.
Especially with the stupid NET....there is no incentive at all for power teams to play a team like us. A team with a NET of 76-160 would be a Q3 loss at home. Obviously, a power team would rather play a team that is more likely a 160 team, or even a cupcake Q4 team than a 75-100 NET type team.NCAA made this mess, they need to fix it.

I used to think the P5 would break off so they could make their own rules, but since the NCAA has caved to them I believe the other 300 may break off to restore some fairness.Especially with the stupid NET....there is no incentive at all for power teams to play a team like us.

Marist 2024-25 final record: 3-28. Book it.Almost certainly a Q4 game, but they'll hopefully be closer to 200 NET than 300+! 🫠😬
Call’em out now so we can hex them.I say we go 13-0 OOC and when we finish with around 27 or 28 wins and are only on the bubble, call out all the power teams by name who would not play us when being interviewed about our dance chances.
Please noneI have mentally prepared myself for just about anything with whatever this schedule is about to look like, my only request is please only one non-D1 team on the schedule 🙏

I was thinking ThanksgivingMaybe a Friday afternoon news dump on Columbus Day weekend?
Please none

Who knows? Maybe it will happen. I think if you win a ton of games and don't get in, u have every right to share that info.
All those teams didn't check their answering machine before they filled out their schedules, even though the red light was flashing for days. Maybe the little tape was full.
*variation on the analog / fax machine/paper, printer/ink joke first posted by GKiller. Feels like this will be my theme for 24-25
Because that's not Mooney's style.Who knows? Maybe it will happen. I think if you win a ton of games and don't get in, u have every right to share that info.
I agree that's not his style, and I can appreciate and respect that. But, I would definitely understand if he, Hardt or both decided to call teams out. I know it is unlikely, and also winning 27 or whatever games to get to this point is probably unlikely too, but I hope we get to that level or at least close enough where it will matter.Because that's not Mooney's style.
Possibly. I guess because the remaining games are probably no better than the already announced ones, they will announce all the others when they announce the full schedule. We certainly don't need to hear an isolated "Spiders add Coppin St" to the schedule today.Odds on the eagerly anticipated and long awaited OOC schedule to be announced today?
if we called everyone, then we have a case. if we thought we were good with 2 tough games pencilled in (later cancelled) and stopped calling high majors, then we don't.This.
If we do happen to be on the bubble with a lot of wins and not much SOS, the move is a proactive media blitz to preempt the Jay Bilases of the world that say "they didn't play anyone." Go hard with "we called Duke on June 3rd. They declined a true home game. We called Wake in April, May, June, and July. They didn't return our call. We called Georgetown, Syracuse, UNC, Miami, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Villanova, Providence, Purdue, etc. They declined."
Assuming this is true, of course.
And also, this won't happen even if it should.

I sure do hope so. Just having 2 power teams, any 2, show up would make it a lot more respectable.Maybe it's a good sign we didn't release the schedule before Labor Day? Maybe we're still trying to salvage the schedule. Which other teams still don't have a full schedule?
Ok. Let's grab Uconn & NC State. Is Auburn out now?Roughly half of the teams have officially released their schedules. Many others seem to be full or close to it based on leaks and piecemeal news.
Here's my updated list of P5s that appear to have slots left:
Arkansas (1)
Auburn (1)
Baylor (1)
NC State (1)
Oklahoma (1)
Oregon (2)
UConn (1)
USC (3)
Vanderbilt (1)
Might as well play them three times while we're out there for max value.USC needs 3 - offer to fly out there, play them, and no compensation needed.
Interesting idea - has this been done before? I would not do it for 3 games, but I could see a 2 game scenario. Travel and play a good team and play them twice. At the end of the day, the NET doesn't care or know you played same team twice, it just cares about the numbers. Play 1 day, take day off, play again.Might as well play them three times while we're out there for max value.
There’s that Q1 game we’ve been looking for…11/6 Mount Olive
