He has a graduate year of eligibility remaining!

Maybe that's why Chris wants to go to 5 or more years of play.

I would suggest a rotation of D, & C, K…

The Case for Dynamic Scheduling in the Atlantic 10

As power conferences consolidate control over college basketball, leagues like the Atlantic 10 are being legislated out of their ability to earn at-large bids. With the margin for error narrowing more each season, the A-10 cannot afford to stand idly by and be squeezed into irrelevancy. The...

This makes too much sense not to do. I have heard this talked about before, but this article goes a great job explaining and illustrating.

The article does use this past season as an example and gives the rose colored glasses people another unneeded excuse for this year’s embarrassing results (UR had the hardest conference schedule). The conference record may well have looked “ok” if UR only played the bottom 7 in the league for the “second half” of the conference season.

Interesting proposal. It of course changes the interest level for season ticket buyers not knowing who they’ll get to see the back half of the conference schedule. Also has the potential of widening the gap between the haves and have nots.

It makes some sense a team like UR would have hardest in conf schedule. When u r near the bottom u r always playing teams ranked above u. And for us 2 annual against VCU who is always ranked top or near it. Good thing for us…if we could ever beat them more than 25%.

A vcu or goo moos similarly hurt last season because they can’t play themselves twice & that’s 2 less games automatically vs strong opponents.

The proposal is certainly worth considering and evaluating further. My feeling is it’s designed to hit a floor with bids not the ceiling. I don’t like to eliminate ceilings. The ceiling comes from ooc & if we’re doing that right as a league we’re ok. I guess that article is kind of saying the ooc is a lost cause but I’m not.

This is pro sports just go to a pro scheduling model. Will never happen but one can wish.
