The League Screws it Up Again
C-USA's attempt to fix one problem created another one.
Once again, MT and wkcc will only get to play once (with no home game for MT) in the new schedule format. In fact, MT could end up having to go to Bowling Green twice if both of us finish the year high enough.
The league's leadership
I realize the league believes that every team needs to play every other team prior to the five TBD games so that there is some degree of consistency at the end of the first regular season, but - like us - I'm sure most of you all have other opponents you would like to have a home and home with outside of the traditional travel partner. This could also be looked at as a means to save on travel too. If a team from the east and a team from the west are good enough during the course of the year they will meet in one of the TBD games.
I appreciate the effort to help the top teams in the league SOS but this is frustrating that once again we don't get home and home with wkcc. As a reminder, the wkcc game in Murfreesboro had 11,307. That's almost five thousand more fans than the national champion's arena can hold.

This has been talked about already. I agree it would be nice to have one more home and home but I’ll take it how it is. It’s better than playing f_u home and home.
