I personally don't like 18 games. I'd rather a 16 game conference schedule but I guess it makes it tough for some teams to bring in extra game or pay for them. I would have thought it would allow you more flexibility in your OOC scheduling, but that's just me.

For basketball, my preference would have been going with two 6 team divisions and a 16 game schedule where you play everyone in your division home/home every year and all six teams from the other division rotating home/away every other year. It seems that would have minimized longer travel in conference and more flexibility to schedule games closer to home. JMO

That sounds like a good idea, but I feel some teams (like GS) who are struggling to get home games wouldn't want less conference games. I really don't know what to do with our BB program. We need a new arena, but since the team is not a big draw it is hard to raise support/funds. We could maybe take a risk and spend big money to get a good home schedule and hope that attracts the fans, but if it doesn't we could lose a lot of money. My gut says open up the purse to buy a few home games and have a big marketing push for season tickets. Hopefully that would offset the costs and also bring in better recruits with a better schedule and attendance.

Good luck to everyone in the SBC this season.
