Get a series, home/home with other quality DIs, like a Wichita State....great! But, when push comes to shove and we have gaps in our schedule, those should be filled with regional DIs, even the SWAC, which are DI at least. If Tech, and our regional peers, would get pro-active and start scheduling years ahead, we can set up a "round-robin" schedule which for us would mean OOCs vs. the Belch and the SLC, balanced home-away. The goal should be to completely, totally eliminate any one of us having to schedule a non-DI opponent.
