So with the game at Liberty in 2020 that just about confirms that we will only have 5 homes games in 2019 unless Troy is kind enough to move the 2019 game to 2021 which probably won't work as we are already at USA.

Enjoy the Kentucky game. Because it's the best we'll get until 2024.

Memphis, ECU, and Houston will schedule 1-1s with Sun Belt teams but avoid us like the plague. Arkansas State and ULL are probably the same way. Literally no one will play us.

Oh boy! That should get our share of the CUSA tv monies to about $6.20. Of course CUSA will allow Liberty to have their own network as the mormons do so they will get about $50bazzilian from 700 network.
