    You are indeed in the minority if you really want to add those sweater-vested mouth breathers into our league.

    I wouldn't welcome Dayton into the conference unless three other schools left. It's too crowded already. I'd really wish we'd just keep it at ten. The league has half the teams in the top 25, may put 7 teams into the NCAA Tournament, and is the top rated conference in the country. Sometimes when things are working out that well you don't need to make any changes. Just let it keep working.

    I'd welcome them onto the schedule. I think most people wanted to keep playing them (although maybe not everyone on here). I don't think it would be the same type of environment that it used to be. At least, not at first. But they are a bus ride a way, and they are now to a point to where they are regularly an NCAA Tournament caliber team. That is especially true this year.

    Except we could only fit them on the schedule as a buy game.
    20 conf games
    4 exempt
    UC
    Big 12 / Gavitt / Prosser = 2-3 games
    so we're either at 27 or 28 games locked in.
    That only leaves 3-4 buy games.

    If they pay us enough money (sort of a reverse buy game) we could let them come to Cintas.
    The only draw back would be a orange haired picture in the lineup.

    As of next year you’re not allowed four exempt games anymore. All MTEs will be either 2 or 3 games, and you get either 29 or 28 more for a total of 31. Essentially, the campus games are gone.

    But to your point, we are locked into a lot of games.

    Not liking 2 less non- con games in order to have 2 more with UConn. Firmly believe if the ACC or Big 10 accepted UConn they'd leave again in a heartbeat. They still have football in their hopes at the moment

    Of course they would. They'd be complete idiots to not leave if they had that offer. However, the chances of them ever getting such an offer (or at least of getting such an offer in the near term) is negligible.
