Marquette vs Oklahoma

[Galway Eagle]

Im happy I get 3 games in Chicago this year. I should probably reach out and see if we can get Marquette to do pregame at Kaiser Tiger for IU game.

In for an alumni curling tournament beforehand...

It's been on message boards and Twitter since Buzz took the Maryland job.

Now that's 2 Chicago games that, depending on time, probably conflict with the Super Bowl-bound Chicago Bears schedule. 

Very annoying. 

This is your brain on drugs!!!!!

Why would they play an exhibition game in Milwaukee?

Also, do High Majors frequently play exhibitions against each other? Overall, it seems like an odd arrangement.

Didn't Marquette play Missouri the last couple of years?

Recruiting?

"Hello young man.  If you sign with us, you can play in this NBA arena every other year."

They can both treat it like a road game...they sell tickets...they get a chance to play in an NBA arena.

Guys,

New rule in 2025. In the past, exhibition games vs. DI teams were a no no. Required a waiver, with proceeds generally going to charity.

This season, rule changes allow you to play another DI team as an exhibition and make it a money grab for the school (and by extension, their young, rich players).

Also.. the 'secret scrimmages' that MU did in the past.. no longer need to be in private and now allow "official" scoring.

It's all new.

I think a MU scrimmage at the UWM Arena or the AL would draw fans. If a neutral site is preferred, Green Bay would be fun (coupled with a Sunday Packer game). Or, we go back to Chicago again!

Why not make it a doubleheader and play the game on Lambeau Field.

Looks like UW Madison is playing Nova at the Fiserv this year and BYU at the Fiserv next year. They are trying to invade.

They want "home" games that will show up as neutral site games on their resume. Similar to what we're doing playing games in Chicago. Smart for both teams.

Can't blame them for being jealous. 

[cheebs09]

This is big news for MECCA.

Illinois has played games in Chicago in the past as a "home" game. The fact is that UW games at the FF are a novelty game that bring in people that spend money. FF doesn't exist to lose money, and unless MU wants to get renegotiate their agreement to exclude UW, that's the way it goes.

Wisconsin played at the BC as well back in the day.  It's an opportunity for Mequon folks to feel safe with people of their kind

No one is doubting their right to do these things. It's simply an annoyance.

I appreciate the FF doing charity work like this.   Allowing a downtrodden program a rare opportunity to play in a nice arena and get some rare positive exposure.

Interesting.  UConn is scheduling a game against BYU a the TD Bank Garden in Boston for this upcoming season.
