slu72 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 CM goes to A-10 and says our kids are suffering academically. A-10 needs two divs. WEST DIV: SLU, UD, XU, ST. B'S, DU, CHARLOTTE, GW EAST DIV: UM, URI, TEM, STJ, LAS, RICH, FORDHAM Each team gets a 16 game sched.... twice w/in div that's 12 games. then 4 from other div 2 home 2 away. Wouldn't that ease RM's pain a little? At the most he'd only have two trips a year to the outer reaches of the A-10, ok ST. B's is a pain but it's only 1 away game. Then schedule everyone's two away games in the early days of Jan or at least make an effort to do this. Other than starting a new conf altogether, ie try and bring in Butler, Creighton, etc.... this makes the most sense. Please let's not join the MVC. Heck I'd rather be in the Horizon.

This really dumps on STB - they are put farthest away from their east coast brethen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runnin'Billiken Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Maybe swap out Bonerventure for Richmond.That makes more sense. Then we have the "West" teams (SLU, UD, X, DU), and the "South" teams (RU, GW, UNCC) all in a division and the Philly schools (Temple, SJU, LaSalle), NY schools (Bona, Fordham), and New England (URI, UMass) schools all in a division. Geographically much better. What I don't like is not playing 3 teams per year. Puts too much inequity in conference schedule IMO. Much more than playing everyone once and 3 home-and-home's.
