I really want to play in a MTE with mid majors on a neutral court with winnable games. Maybe 2 P5 teams that pay about 200k combined and then look for 2-3 home games against winnable mids and 2 non D1…which I think will be the new limit according to Beth. We need to play a schedule where we can realistically get at least 6 wins by January 1rst. We over scheduled this past season and it just put us into a hole we couldn’t get out of and it killed our confidence. We have to be able to experience some early success to give our kids the confidence to think they can win just about every game they play. SIU game is a mystery since they lost their coach and probably their best players. ISU is a mystery also because if Schertz is back, they will be great. If he gets a bigger job he will take his best guys with him and we might have a winnable game. Lasalle at home is a winnable game as we had them this year at their place and blew it at the end. A ton of changes are coming for us too so who knows what to expect this early.

How many of us think UE will be on schedule next year? I don't think so. Not as a two for one. I would expect ue to ask for that...but it ain't gonna happen if I am the AD. There is zero reason to do so...and I do mean ZERO.

I will be completely ticked if USI agrees to that. It does not benefit us AT ALL. Too many other teams will give us a home and home. I would be more happy to our a-- kicked for 200 grand and do a home and home with another team. We don't need the game...and neither do they. But ain't doing a two for one. He__ __ no!!!! AD should be fired if he agrees to that...completely serious.
