If you are satisfied bringing in Wake Forest or Pitt, so be it. I don't think that's what people are asking for. I realize I said P5's but the argument people are trying to make is to get the quality P5's.

I can flip this around. If our RPI is higher than 7 ACC teams, why would we want to change anything at all? Sounds like our administration gets the formula.

By the way, Lipscomb's (that's an Atlantic Sun team) RPI is 30. Should we aim to schedule them instead?

I guess we'll have to disagree on some of this. I would absolutely take Wake, NC State, Boston College or Pitt on a home and home deal. I think we have to be realistic about who we are. The only way we are going to schedule top level P5 games is on a cash game at their place which i would just as soon do without.

I agree that if we play an elite P5 program it should be on the road because we’re not at their level. Similarly, MEAC teams are not on the G5 level, so they should play on our home court. But there are several teams on our level from the CAA, A-10, American (ECU), CAA, and Sunbelt that we should be playing more regularly.

Also, not sure how we got UNC to play the very first game at the Ted.

Dean Smith always promised recruits he would get a game in their area if possible. At that time I think we they had a kid from Norfolk on the team. Smith may have been gone by the time that game was played, not sure.

J R Reid..... I think!!!

Maybe JR, but they also had a kid from Norfolk named Ed something. Never played much while at UNC
