Get Memphis on the phone and tell them to set up a game there and that slu will cover their own travel expenses. Play it at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse on the Memphis campus or even at the De La Salle Gymnasium at CBC if the FedEx isn't available. This team could use court time against another real program before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the waiver is that players are not allowed to miss class for these games. Tough if any of them have night class through the week.

Cowboy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 -if the staff feels it's a good idea, I'm guessing they would be trying to do it, doesn't seem like CFord would miss an opportunity -from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, emphasis is mine..... if UNC can have make believe classes for 18 years then going from gross receipts to net proceeds is nothing, for example have a booster provide travel at an exorbitant rate and then in return donate the amount back to the school over what the normal rate would have been....yes, I'm looking at the NCAA through very, very jaded lenses Division I institutions interested in pursuing an additional exhibition contest benefiting hurricane relief must submit a legislative relief waiver request in RSRO. If two Division I institutions are planning to participate against each other, then only one of the two schools is required to submit a waiver. However, the submission must include a statement of support from each participating institution's director of athletics, must specify that all net proceeds from the contest will be donated to a bona fide charity and must identify that charity. Please note that any Division II or Division III institutions seeking to participate in an additional exhibition contest against a Division I institution must submit a separate legislative relief waiver request. Staff will promptly review each request on a case-by-case basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Never read to much into exhibition results. Don't forget Syracuse lost to Le Moyne in an exhibition in 2009. That went on to win the Big East, went to the Sweet 16 and finished the season ranked 4th in the AP and 8th in the coaches' poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, when you are a 2nd seed and lose in the 1st round of the NCAAs to the likes of a 15 seed Norfolk State, that's a meltdown Billiken Rich and TheA_Bomb like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
