Ever wonder how 350 teams put together OOC schedules? It isn't just contacts. It's a bit of a meat market, too. The Basketball Travelers Inc. message board is basically the Craigslist of college scheduling.

A couple of things:
-Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, New Mexico, NC State and Washington State are some of the schools looking for big-name home-and-homes. So is Clemson, but they're doing it a bit differently, willing to go on the road first. Good for them for learning from past mistakes.
-Michigan State is looking for someone big to play in Brooklyn. That should be interesting. Kentucky was looking for the same thing. I say pair 'em off and have a hell of a show.
-St. Mary's always says nobody will play them, yet there they are requesting buy games and ONE home and home. Stop complaining and step it up. Especially since you are completely screwed from an NCAA perspective.
-St. Bonaventure is basically begging. "St. Bonaventure is looking to start one more H/H at home for 2013-14. Losing top three scorers."
-Won't somebody, anybody, take Kent Sate's money? "Anyone still looking for a MTE? We are paying 140K for 1 more team to be a part of the NABC Coaches vs Cancer Tournament. You will play @Seton Hall Nov. 9 and then play 3 games @Kent State from Nov. 21-23. You will play Kent State, W. Carolina and USC Upstate. 140K!!"
-Utah State, offers like these are why your RPI sucks every year. "Utah State is looking to host 1 exhibition game next season on Nov. 4. We offer a small guarantee plus rooms."
-Seton Hall and DePaul are desperately seeking a home-and-home with a major conference opponent. Maybe sticking around with UConn, Louisville, ND and Cincinnati would have solved that.
