Here's one way to get scheduling leverage

[Kung Wu]

Since we don't have leverage over any BCS conferences, we should shake down our own Valley members somehow. So we make them sneak language into their scheduling contracts in super fine print that makes the game transferable, and then make them give us one of their BCS opponents for one of our crappy opponents.

We could have stolen Indiana, Ohio or Xavier from Evansville; Iowa from Drake; Iowa State from Northern Iowa ... and so on.

We need to use some strong arm tactics. We need a consigliere.

Is he in college basketball or bb at any level or has he moved on?

Don't think he is doing college. Not sure. He kinda fell off the radar.

Does anyone think about how the NFL schedules their games would work for the NCAA but on a larger scale? I believe the way the NFL works is that 1 division plays another divisions teams on a rotating basis per year. So in NCAA terms it would mean that for Wichita State would play their typical MVC schedule but instead of scheduling their own non-con games, the MVC teams would be paired up with another conference, for example The Big 12. The MVC and Big 12 teams would play each other to fill out their non-con games, then on a rotating basis the next year the MVC would play the ACC, and the Big 12 would play another conference, like the SEC, and so on.

Thoughts?

What happens when it's your year to play the SWAC?

What happens when it's your year to play the SWAC?

It would always be someone's year to play the SWAC.

It would always be someone's year to play the SWAC.

And thus is the problem. We have our best team in 30 years, but it's our year to play the SWAC. Yeah, that would be awesome.
