They're doing that again? I thought it was only to accommodate the earlier BTT due to playing at the Garden.

Now there are 2 additional B1G games, so they must need to schedule some when the B1G previously would have played OOC games.

Ah, I guess I just figured they would tack those back into the normal schedule.

I didn't care for the setup last year and I don't think I'll care for it moving forward, but the TV folks love it because they get much better ratings for what was otherwise often a cupcake week. Now get off my lawn.

Two tough draws. The soft non-conference schedule makes a little more sense. I didn’t know that we were still doing the early conference pair.

I didn't realize they're keeping the two early season conference games. I actually kind of liked that last season. It broke up the monotony of playing teams with sub 300 RPIs in front of sparse disinterested crowds.
