Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3393199, member: 591"] There is truth to what you say, particularly regarding the men. Because many men's games are televised, they are often spread out to accommodate the various broadcast contracts. In general, at least based on what Vivian said and things I have read, conferences tend to schedule games on regular days because it not only helps with regard to the (limited) television contracts, but also helps with the scheduling at the schools regarding classes and such. Hence you have the PAC and their travel partners, the Big East also does travel partners. But playing set days helps with setting up the teams practice schedules and players classes. It is also easier for the conference, especially as they are scheduling men and women both who very well might share a facility. Incidentally, and you probably know this, that's why women's schedules come out after the men. [/QUOTE]
