How did Charlotte's schedule get out already? FBSchedules has it listed, too, but doesn't have anyone else's yet.

So glad we on the road for that Thanksgiving weekend game.

Other than the big boys and big rivalry games it kills attendance around the country.

They moved the La Tech game from Thanksgiving weekend. And here I thought we had a good thing going there. Ya know what? I'll just go ahead and say. Stupid stupid move by the conference.

There are no rivalry games in rivalry week this year. WKU-Marshall got moved, too.

What? How could you forget about the infamous "Planters Bowl" between ODU and Empty Sue?!?

Further proof that the conference leadership is inept. You have a rivalry game from the past that has been resurrected to produce two very exciting and important games at the end of the season. Let's change that immediately...

I wonder if ESPN asked for these CUSA marquee games to be moved to weekends they don't have many top games.

The more likely reason is because of having to schedule around non-conference games.

If you try to match team A to play team B but team A can only play team C on that specific date due to the non-conference game already on the books, you then keep trying to move other teams to accommodate that one game then this problem gets multiplied many times over with each change you try to make.

I can almost guarantee you this is why we are in the position of having to play the same teams over and over again vs. being able to get some of the teams on the schedule we haven't had a chance to play yet.

Attendance will be better but the gravity of the game will not be decided at that point in the season. It was better to be at the end being that it is usually very likely that we (LA Tech and USM) will be fighting for the West.

Yea, but I understand why they did this.

Everyone in Florida gets distracted with UF-FSU that weekend and putting anyone against that is hard and throw the fact most students leave that weekend.
Just look at the attendance at UCF-USF the last couple years.
They game would do way better moved just a week up.

This is exactly why Tech is playing WKU again, I believe. If you look at the non-conference schedules for every team in C-USA, both Tech and WKU had week 3 open. No one else in the conference did. Which meant either both get a bye week 3, or they play each other. Easy decision.

C-USA does ask teams to try and play all non-conference games in weeks 1-4. That's not always possible though.

It is also the reason that Rice is at UTEP in week 2. Both had no game scheduled for that date and I realized some time ago that it was very likely that neither team wanted that to be their open date so it made sense to play each other then since every other team in the conference had an OOC game scheduled on that date.
