Here's the new A-Sun championship schedule for the upcoming year. Except for very few changes, it's not a whole lot different from last season.

My comments:
1. Volleyball at Lipscomb? That's one program that definitely does not need a home court advantage.
2. Basketball at Mercer again...and again...and again...and again...for ever and ever, Amen.
3. Sand Volleyball: I wish we had sand volleyball. That would be sweet.
4. Lacrosse: Hmmm . . . I don't know, really . . . it's Longwood's, Detroit's, and Howard's only sport in the A-Sun.
5. OT&F at North Florida: That makes very good sense. They seat 9,000+ for track & field.
6. Baseball at Stetson: Again? Seriously? Why not here? We might actually have a completed stadium by then.
7. IT&F at ETSU: It's always here...as it should be. It's a lot of fun and a good use of the Dome.
8. Tennis at ETSU: That's cool; but, I wonder what AD demanded that?
9. Softball at Lipscomb: I probably shouldn't rant about this, but I will. What a trashy dump of a so-called stadium! It's repulsive. You feel like showering after sitting there through a double-header. I couldn't imagine the feeling after a tourny. I get the "Bison Purple & Gold shakes" just thinking about it. With this (and Volleyball, FTM) site selection, would it surprise anyone to know that Philip Hutcheson chairs this year's A-Sun Tournament Committee? If BU was still in the A-Sun, that would be the place to play. They have a great stadium with a nice view of the Ryman Auditorium beyond center field. Since they're out, it really should be played here. Our stadium totally blows away Lipscomb's.
10. Men's Soccer: Yep, I'm calling it: we'll host it again. This year we'll win it. Go Bucs!
