Oso planning to go pro
Starting next year, there is no P6. If you remove the B12 and B10, and the SEC is already tied to both the ACC and B10, that really only leaves the ACC or (I guess) Mountain West.After that, it's probably the A-10 or WCC as the next most desirable, and frankly, I don't think either are very desirable. I'd tier our challenge options as...1. ACC<Big Gap>2. Mountain West<Mammoth Gap>.....3. There is no 3, no one else is worth it.
With the proliferation of mega leagues, non-conference scheduling is going to be more difficult, imo. We’re going to get to the point where Marquette can’t duck UWM anymore
BE Big 12 battle over after next year - this is less than ideal.https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status/1778053239805546564
I believe the B12 is an ESPN asset. That makes sense if so. The BE v B12 never got much traction. I don't see this moving the needle. One game a year you can't control. Maybe a net positive for a program like MU. Gonzaga anyone?
Hopefully they can keep the series with ND going.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
That one is off the table. ND started a series with Georgetown and wasn't interested in continuing things with Marquette.
And there really is no need for a conference v. conference type challenge any longer. Just schedule the best you can.
That one is off the table. ND started a series with Georgetown and wasn't interested in continuing things with Marquette. Maybe it could come back in the future, but the sense I get is that they don't want to get embarrassed twice a year and were not a willing party in continuing to sign up for annual ass-kickings.
Just book bad teams and beat them by 40 and we'll get more teams in the Tournament.
B12 style.
Curious which road game we get in the B12 challenge. Any of @Kansas, Arizona or Houston would be amazing.
