Memphis to the Big East?

That sounds like an old A10 schedule.

I like the round robin.

You gonna play 22 conference games? Thats a disaster for the SOS.

If Memphis comes, it’s 12 teams. Unless you assume UConn is gone.

It’s mathematically true that less conference games is better for SOS, as long as the non-com games you schedule are won at a better than 50% clip.

I’m looking to make a final 4 and at some point win a national championship. An improved SOS for the whole conference can increase our odds of that with more tourney appearances and better seeds.

The round robin schedule does nothing towards achieving that goal.

I agree 22 would be too many.
20 seems OK with the season going out to 31 games with MTE's.

Memphis is a basketball centric school that routinely underachieved. With that in mind, wouldn’t them joining the A10 make a lot more sense?

Fred Smith just passed away.

Likely not good for Memphis moving forward when it comes to funding support.
