Big South: Winthrop, Coastal Carolina, UNC-Asheville
Southern Conference: Chattanooga, Wofford
Colonial Athletic: William & Mary, James Madison, UNC-Wilm
Ohio Valley: Belmont, Murray State, Morehead State
Sun Belt: Ark Little Rock, UL-Monroe

All have had quality teams of late and shouldn't be as difficult to schedule as many other programs

I totally agree.


Also i would schedule 3 legacy arena games a year to bring P5s in.

UAB loses money playing at Legacy vs. Bartow.

Grab some good teams who travel well and make the tournament.

All of those teams are great candidates, however, keep it mind they are all doing the same thing we are. They want to play the big teams for money and/or exposure. I'd imagine Chatty and Belmont are having as much trouble finding games as we are.

I'm already laughing at what I'm about to type....

We should get Ingram to schedule a 4 team tourney of nearby strong non-P5 teams. Belmont, Chattanooga, USA, etc. and rotate the host site between them.

Offer more 3 for 1s even if the one is legacy arena. I would give a few schools that option imho.

Lol no thanks.

You include USA and expect us to take this seriously.

LOL. We needed a cupcake first round game, and a team from a different conference, and the other two squads are from Tennessee.
