RE: Out of conference basketball scheduling just got a little tougher
LOL!!

Tank-

I'm not the math guy ... Rocco? ... but it seems to me that 25% of the P5 football schedules and 33% of the P5 hoops schedules have to be comprised of non P5 schools, or else half of P5 will be guaranteed a losing season every year ... and that doesn't work for the P5.

There are things we could with other like-minded schools re: scheduling and tournaments.

There are things we could do on the PR front ... like calling out the P5 hoops schools for rigging the system.

There are things we could advocate for re: fifth year transfers.

Nothing. Silence. We acquiesce to a crooked system.

Bad things happen when good people remain silent. Curly Bill was not good people, nor is the institution known as the NCAA, IMO.

Now, give me a second while I find William Wallace's compadre ...

W&M, to the mid-majors: [Image: 2325504192_8a6e7cacf0_z.jpg?zz=1]

(Wanted to use Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid but there doesn't seem to be a GIF of that, and I couldn't use Major League because that has an expletive. So you'll get Elf and like it.)

I don't know who's going to lead the charge for the teams outside the P5 but W&M doesn't have the juice to do it. I'm not even sure they would have had the juice in The Most Magical Year 1977. They go along with the tide because they're driftwood in the grand scheme of things, and driftwood doesn't have an outboard motor.

W&M does not expect its alumni to be driftwood, and the school should set a better example.

There was a small blip in the sports media world when we helped headline that anti-COA letter.

Will there be any additional takers now a bit further down the road to Mordor?
