"The Division I Men's Basketball Oversight Committee on Tuesday approved a proposal allowing teams to play up to two preseason exhibition games against any four-year school, including Division I teams."

"Additionally, the new rule eliminates the requirement that preseason practice scrimmages be conducted in private and without official scoring."

We can now play two Division 1 schools in the preseason and make money off of the games. Say hello to Yale and UMass.

Wow! They actually made a rule that helps UConn by giving us another payday. Will wonders never cease?

Be nice to play one in Bridgeport as a courtesy to Fairfield County fans.
