Home Schedule: 2024-2025

[GampelGladiator]

As we await the schedule release...want to start a conversation on predictions for the home schedule for 2024-2025 season...

NOTES

• Providence to be permanently hosted at Gampel
  • if not, simply swap Providence with Xavier
• Gampel to be host venue for seasons with a single premier out of conference opponent (note that I am an XL season ticket holder)
• Venue balance for old Big East teams
• Venue balance for strength of schedule
• Besides Providence, each BE team will play at each venue at least once in a 4-year period

thoughts?

More than anything we need smarter XL scheduling. It's been said plenty but over the students' winter break, all games should be at XL (for as long as we are forced to play at XL). That's usually 5-6 weeks of games. Also think it could be could be cool to open every season at XL with a CT opponent, preferably CCSU or Yale (though we'll probably never play them now that they're good). That probably preserves the split everyone is looking for more or less and is most efficient in terms of fan distribution.
