Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 2012781, member: 730"] While I don't want to defend weak OOC schedules there are other factors that have to be considered. First, public colleges can find themselves under pressure to play other public schools in their state. MD played U of MD Eastern Shore & U of MD Baltimore County. I have no idea why but it's possible that Brenda was "strongly advised" to play them. They also played Mt St Mary's, and Loyola of MD, both in-state schools. Again, I have no information but it's conceivable that some bean-counter in the MD administration doesn't want to fund travel all over the country. UConn fans are blessed that their team has the budget and freedom to play whomever they choose. [/QUOTE]
