Any information out there on how C-USA and the future basketball schedule will work? Do we play all teams twice or just west teams twice and east teams once. With a 14 team conference I can see how not all schools will play each other. I am looking forward to trips to Norfolk but realize we wont be going there that often for either football or basketball.

I believe that right now, it's 16 conference games- home and home in division, one game in the other division alternating home/away each year.

If that schedule holds over, it's a very clean and balanced 19 game conference schedule. A little more than most conferences, which usually top out at 18... But 19 instead of 18 seems reasonable if it means everyone plays everyone.

The other scenario, round robin in-division and every other year against the other division, would mean Old Dominion would only come to the Pit once every 4 years. Insert WKU joke here.

It's possible to keep an 18 game conference schedule but I don't know if they'll try it. The six home and away in your division is pretty much a given. There could be only six games in the other division, three home and three away and one sits out each year. I believe that it would be an easier program to balance so that the home/away part is over in one year.

A 19 game conference schedule seems resonable to me too. Playing the other division alternating home/away would make the most sense and in basketball everyone should play each other at least once IMO.

There is no way in hell the Sun Belt schedules WKU to Denton in our final year of the conference. Guess we'll plan one last trip to Bowling Green.

I'm pretty sure next season is a full home/home round robin schedule. Edited by CMJ

There's no reason to rule out a road trip/weekend flight to Bowling Green sometime around Christmas/New Year's. Home and home doesn't need to exclude the possibility of a visit to WKU.

I was more commenting on the fact that Scrappy said that they wouldn't send WKU to Denton.

I am always up for any road trips. I just need to get out of this weekend job of mine by next fall.

Thanks for clearing that up, I wasn't thinking about Denver being gone now and having a smaller conference so they would change things up.

The wife was a lot more open to the Miami trip than the WKU christmas present I suggested. Go figure

Whatever picture greenminer posted, it didn't show up.

There's no way it' NOT Big Lebowski related, right?

Not Lebowski

Probably network problem on your side? The picture comes up over here.

Yes, I don't think we get any breaks at all on the conference schedule.

Can't blame the belt for that.

It could always be worse. The CAA prohibits outgoing teams to participate in conference championship tournaments

ODU is hoping they will reconsider that position.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Culturally speaking, UNT and Denton just don’t care about the teams here. If people do care, they get made fun of or looked at as if they have 3 heads. But if someone loathes our teams and is a student, professor, administrator, or citizen of Denton, they get all kinds of attention and praise from the others. It’s a town that loves being anti-establishment and going against the grain. And sports are most definitely at the top of the establishment definition to these people.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!
