It's interesting that Bobby Wilder expects all of the construction to take place between November 2018 and September 2019, and yet no plans have been released to the public.

If they have to hide the plans, they can't be good.

Agreed, expect the "bait & switch" any day now. No way they tear down and build in one year. Simply put, can't be done.

Cheap erector sets can be erected quickly 03-lmfao 04-cheers

Well if that's the case, the "bait & switch" has already occurred, and I wasn't paying attention.

Because I'm a solutions kind of guy.........if Marshall were to win and go to the sweet 16, how much would our cut from cusa be and would it be enough to buy out jones and hire a suitable replacement because they are all over the place right now.

Whatever it is it gets divided by all 14 of us or however many schools there are.

I'm pretty sure there's a middle ground between "only play MEAC schools" and "only play big-name opponents on the road." And as a whole, ODU threads that needle pretty well most seasons. This year, with VCU and Richmond crapping out, St. Bonaventure backing out of a series and a Charleston tournament that could have provided two bona fide powers but because of the Temple loss resulted in crappy Indiana State and down Dayton, the schedule was compromised.

I think short of adding a buy game at a powerhouse in place of a tomato can at home, the scheduling philosophy is fine, this season notwithstanding.

I am fairly certain that if they put their egos aside and worked really hard to get a 2 for 1 against some P5 team, they could find one to play us.

Looking at the ACC alone:

UVA played @VCU
UNC played @Davidson
Miami played @George Washington and @Hawaii
Notre Dame played @DePaul and @Delaware
Boston College played @Hartford
Georgia Tech played @Wofford
Wake Forest played @Charlotte and @Coastal Carolina

The last two wouldn't have helped our schedule this year, but yes, getting P5 schools at the Ted can be done. I still think we take a buy game and use that money to improve our schedule either through travel (expand our OOC footprint) or paying a P5 to come to the Ted rather than a 2 for 1 and get nothing out of it.

Someone in the AD has to still have a relationship with Shaka Smart, Brad Brownell, or Jim Larranaga.

Do you ever do research?
VCU, Davidson & George Washington are all in the A-10 a conference that usually gets multiple bids. They got 4 schools in a few years back.

DePaul is in a little itty bitty conference you might have heard of, called the BIG EAST. That conference has won a few national championships if I recall.

It is easier to sell your schedule to alums if the road games are against schools in a good conference or have history. And right now we don't have history. 7 years since we last danced. That is ancient history to most in the basketball world.

With all the connections we seemingly have with UVA we can't even get them to play us. I'd rather play good A-10 teams on a home and home right now. Anything except more frickin MEAC teams, or CAA teams not named Waste Management.

If you call W&M Waste Management and they beat us every year, doesn't that make us trash?

So what you are saying is that you are in agreement... we need to get to the A10.

You didn't chime in, but I assume that is how you voted?

I’m calling it now. We are going to kick their teeth in next year at the Ted. The players and coaches will know how much it means. I was at “the Kap”/high school gym for their miracle shot. And it hurt beyond belief. Caver, Stith, Porter and others will remember. I pray they schedule it on a Saturday.

It's beyond time to get back on a 15-1 run against them. The way normal times would have it.

https://csnbbs.com/thread-845434.html

No. The A-10 has lost the only premier schools they had to the Big East. And it will never return to it's glory of just a few years ago.

It will sink to a 1 bid league with the rare 2 bids. Why leave for a conference headed down. All those games that big schools played at A-10 schools were scheduled before the bottom fell out. Wait a couple of years, you will see this soon to be bad league stops getting ACC teams at home. Why would UVA [or insert any ACC school] play at VCU or Richmond anymore when they can play the good former A-10 teams in the best non-P5 league in the country, the Big East?

And you think cusa is a conference on the rise??? lol

The a10 is WAY better than cusa and it's not even close, especially if we join the league and then leave cusa.

2016-2017 A-10 was 8th in Conference RPI. CUSA was 15 spots behind them at 23.

This year A-10 was 11th, CUSA was only 3 spots behind at 14. You tell what that trend says.

But having CUSA's top teams lose their best coaches and players makes it hard for our upward trend to continue.

Not sure its a trend though. The A10 had a crappy year and still got three teams in the NCAA. CUSA had a pretty good year and still only got one.

Davidson got in because they won the tourney. The Bonnies got in because they were able to con their way into a good RPI.

I don't think either of those teams are better than MTSU or Western Kentucky. I'm not sure Rhode Island and MTSU would be all that different.

It's interesting that you left ODU - who finished 2nd in CUSA - out of your statement. Not saying that I disagree with you. Just saying that it is interesting.
