Obviously no surprises but I gotta say its very disappointing SU didn't add at least 1 (I was hoping for 2) cupcake type games to the schedule. Only playing 12 regular season games is the bare minimum and most schools are playing 14+. Essentially SU has two games that you would consider them to be overwhelming favorites Colgate and Hobart and with one of those being at Hobart and their superbowl its really 1.5. This team is going to be running a season wide gauntlet from mid February to the end of March; Albany, Army, Virginia, Hopkins, Rutgers, Duke, and Notre Dame before getting to play Hobart. Not getting a Canisius or Siena or St. Bonaventure somewhere in there or even during the week before the ACC tournament is a big mistake in my mind . Were leaving ourselves little room for error if this team has any sort of losing streak and things start to snowball.
Only 2 conflicts with Hoops
March 2 we're at Wake at Noon
March 9 we're at Clemson at Noon.
What benefit would we get from playing St Bona in their 1st year, other than beating them by 30?
And not to be redundant but the ACC Tournament is about the most poorly thought up sporting event I can remember. Why in the world does it need to last more than one weekend?
Didn't realize this at first, but the schedule is very unbalanced, that aspect is a bit concerning. Seems extremely important for the team to get off to a fast start (which the indoor facilities should help).
I'm with Jeremy in wishing for more cupcake-like games, if for the simple fact I just want more games to watch. Seems like coaches have gotten too obsessed with RPI and giving their team as much rest as possible in-between games.

I brought this up in another thread. There was a rumor circulating on our board that for the 2020 season, the UVa-SU game will be moved to later in the season, sometime around April 20.
Well, we’ll host JHU in March of 2020. :noidea:All the conference games late in the season.
Odd, I'd think that the new ACCNetwork would want decent content all season long.
Given the changes in the ACC tournament, we will play at least 13 games.Question for Jeremy or any of the other experts.
Since we only scheduled 12 games could we add a game later in the year against a tomato can if we needed the win to get to .500? I am sure there are some schools left with openings.

Assuming that we don't make the ACC Finals, could we schedule a last minute game for May 4?
Every other conference has their tournament that weekend. We'd have to pick a team with a losing record who didn't even qualify for their own tournament who's willing to take a beating for a paycheck.
I'd guess it would be next to impossible to pull it off.
Besides, if we have a losing record, we all get new desktops next season.

College footballI don't think I've ever seen a team, in any sport, add a game to its schedule once the season has begun. Have to imagine this isn't even legal. Feels like teams struggling to make .500 on the season would have done this by now, and I've never seen it. If a game is canceled due to weather or some other mitigating circumstance it makes sense to schedule another game, but I've never seen a game added on just to give yourself a winning record.

I won’t go on but you can add games with any teams that have openings during the season as long as it doesn’t put you over the limit.
If we were sitting at 6-6 going into the ACC tourney and weren’t in the 4-5 game I would look to add a 13th game and just guarantee that opener of the ACC tournament didn’t put our entire season on the line.Hmm, most of the examples you give (minus the St. Mary's college basketball one) references the situation I mentioned - games are scheduled after the season starts, but is replacing a game that was canceled. So a game was added (not replacing another) once in 2009. I guess it could happen, but it's extremely rare. Interesting.
