We need to improve our OOC schedules league-wide pronto. UConn is doing a solid job, but not good enough. My suggestion: Given that we play 18 conference games and are allowed to play up to 31 in total if we play in pre-season tournaments, every school should take advantage of that. At this point, in order to improve SOS and maintain game revenue, I suggest choosing from three different proposals for each school (I use UConn as an example, but plug in your school and schools in power conferences and/or the NBE that you could get home and home series with)

Scenario 1: 3-game preseason tourney (Maui), neutral site game vs. nearest power conference rival (vs. Syracuse at MSG), 6 home and homes with P6 schools (Arizona, Georgetown, Ohio State, Florida, Auburn, Villanova), 3 home games vs. decent mid-majors that don't kill RPI (Yale, Harvard, Princeton). Great schedule with 6 OOC home games.

Scenario 2: 3-game preseason tourney (Maui), neutral site game (Syracuse at MSG), 4 home and homes with P6 schools (Arizona, Georgetown, Villanova, Ohio State), 5 home games vs. decent mid-majors (Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Quinnipiac, Fairfield). Good schedule with 7 OOC home games.

Scenario 3: 3-game preseason tourney (Maui), neutral site game (Syracuse at MSG), 2 home and homes with P6 schools (Georgetown, Arizona), 7 home games vs. decent mid-majors (Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Quinnipiac, Fairfield, Columbia, Penn). Decent schedule with 8 OOC home games.

Which scenario do you like the most?
