About what it usually is. I don't get why we never play teams from the other G5 Conferences, at least the SunBelt.

It doesn't seem like we do either. I don't know why either.

I mean, it would be nice to replace the D2 games with "G5" games, but realistically those aren't going anywhere as they fill out the home schedules. I don't see a major advantage to playing SBC schools vs. say, Oakland or Youngstown St. Might as well stay more local since those trips are available in bball.

Why travel to play a midmajor when we have the Horizon and MVC in our backyards.

I like playing the Horizon teams, but would swap out at least 1 of the non-D1 games with another G5.

But then you're losing a home game every other year. May not seem like a big deal since fans don't exactly look forward to hosting Alma, but it is a big deal for the players and coaches to get some home games and actually be at home on a regular basis.
