I don't think we should help our big brother, but I'm all for helping our little brother.

Who is whom? Both are LBs

Big XII annouced their schedule today. Baylor has 9/12 TBD as their Non-conference game. We play USM that date with no common open dates.

Crap!

Setting up USM that early in the season was a fail by somebody. It's like they don't want the rivalry to exist. They do the same thing in baseball and they did it in MBB last year.

How should C-USA proceed with ODU's decision not to play?

1. East teams & 2 cross-divisional teams only play 7 games?
2. ODU's opponents play a 2nd game against divisional opponent
3. Blow up the whole conference schedule and start over

I would go with #2. Move the championship to 12/12 or 12/19. Have the teams play the games on 12/5. No teams would play @ the same team twice. All teams keep 4 Home/4 Away.

I've determined an easy fix to let us play @ Baylor on 9/12.

Move USM/UNT to 9/12
Move Tech/UNT to 10/3
Move USM/Tech to 11/7

Mizzou would be glad to have them in the SEC...so would the rest of the SEC. Makes a lot of sense.

Please email it to our AD. This is way too difficult for him.

If C-USA plays this Fall, I hope we can get some of the ESPN+ inventory sublicensed.

Fox has lots of space on FS1 - don't expect us to get any time on Fox Network
ESPN nets have plenty of openings as well.
CBS Sports also had a lot of MWC games.
