Very important that ALL of our programs adhere to the following. No more home-and-homes with Houston Baptist (like MT did this year) :

It is time for everyone to look in the mirror and figure out if they want to be Division I or just be in Division I.

Meeting the minimums let's you be in but we aren't being Division I. We got start cutting out the non-Division I games. The official RPI doesn't count those as wins and they subtract points for playing them. We've got to quit going home/home with leagues that are supplying teams to the NCAA play-in game. We really shouldn't be traveling to the bottom six conferences. Either fork out the money for a non-returned game or go home/home against better leagues. If we are going to go pick-up $60,000 to play an SEC team without a return game, take what's left after travel costs and buy in a lousy Division I team.

I agree about that. It needs to stop in basketball AND baseball. Plus not only does playing non-D1 schools hurt the RPI, but if a team loses to one, the RPI won't recover and the NCAA committee sure as heck won't hand an invite to the big dance.

RE: For Emphasis-- ArkStFan's Post
I'm a football fan who used to be wildly crazy about basketball and life got in my way so that I can clear a Saturday much more easily than any other day and fell out of the basketball habit. Once upon a time, I would send the office phones to my service and go home the first two afternoons of the Dance and watch TV, won tourney pools three times in four years. This year, I didn't look at the full bracket until this morning when I filled out one for a just for fun pool.

I'm no longer a hoops guy.

With that out of the way.

Increase your season ticket sales in basketball by 1,000 at an average price of $8 per ticket on 16 home games and you generate an extra $128,000 before donations, before raising your sponsorship rates to account for larger crowds.

At an average price of $12 per ticket with six home games in football you need 1,778 extra season tickets sold to match that gain in football.

That $128,000 of added revenue will buy two non-returned Division I games in basketball with about $8,000 left over. That same money in football might get you one FCS opponent but there are already FCS schools that won't come to your place for that extra money.

Football is my first love and second and third when it comes to sports but the key to high quality football in this conference is inside the basketball arena. If we could generate on average 3 units a year instead of the 1 we were generating until last season, we have the revenue to produce our own regional TV package to make available to stations or regional sports nets and can afford one maybe two additional bowl affiliations.

Football is where the big money is but basketball is where we can improve our bottom line the fastest with a smaller investment. When you get basketball into the black the need to sell football to the highest bidder is reduced.

How is stAte adhering to the principle ? I believe many of your fans were complaining about the schedule when Nutt was there. Looking like Kermit is scheduling wins, like Nutt-- Houston Baptist, SIU-Edwardsville, and at least one non-D1 game a year. Hopefully we will not have to return the UT-Martin game that we lost at home this year.

We do schedule a home-and-home with Belmont every year, but.... hell.... we bring their RPI down.

We've got Indiana State Missouri State and Ole Miss coming to Jonesboro next year which helps. But we've played 2 Non D1's per year every year for the last few years and that has to stop
