Schedule 2 to 3 years out for 4 year contract
This year was done 6 or 7 years ago
AD has control of that as well
I think that timeline is more for college I thought the Rice/Marist thing as well as the Brother Rice Michigan were two year agreements.
The last time Rice did not make the playoffs it was because they went to Michigan and Indianapolis in the same season, not necessarily becasue of their team's ability. This year will be the same.
They also need to better align their home and road schedules if they are going to do play top shelf teams.
You can't be overly critical for their schedule as long as it is not hurting their enrollment.
I really like what Rita did the last two years. They know know the blue could give them a couple of losses.
Loyola has the horses to play 6 top flight teams annually. Most teams do not.
