Belt Schedules Not Out Until March 1st ?

[MeanGreen61]

Interest comments about the conference forcing changes to accommodate WKU.

This announcement likely won’t come until March 1. The Sun Belt teams put their schedules out there and ESPN decides if they want to pick up any of the games. As of right now, Troy is supposed to open the year at Middle Tennessee, but last year the Sun Belt changed Troy’s schedule five times before it was finalized.

As I said, that’s not final, but looking more and more like it will happen. The game would more than likely be played the third weekend of the season (Sept. 13). That’s when Ball State was supposed to come, but the Sun Belt forced Troy to accomodate Western Kentucky on its schedule in 2007 and 2008. Thus, Troy went to WKU last year and WKU went to Ball State. In 2008, WKU goes to Troy and Ball State goes to WKU (instead of Troy). Troy still needed a fifth home game.
