let me preface this by saying i recognize we were stuck in limbo this year with the big east transition...

when it comes to these cupcakes, not only are we losing valuable ticket revenue, we are straight up flushing over a half million down the toilet, and for what? how does a win against a 200+ net ranked team benefit us in any way?

i get that Duke has 6-8 buy games per year but they have money to burn.

even starting next year when we play 20 conference games, why should we ever have more than 4 buy games on the schedule? (2 at Gampel 2 at XL)

the other 7 games should be dedicated to: 1) early season tourneys; 2) the two big east conference challenges; 3) H&Hs with high majors like memphis and florida; and 4) P5 teams that will play us in football.

so by my calculation we are still missing [U]3[/U] quality OOC games in 20-21.

what's the worst that could happen? we end up with another 1 or 2 Quadrant One losses? season tickets would be sold out! fans want to see this schedule, players want to play this schedule, coaches want to coach this schedule!
