I used to know this stuff...but I've been out of the rule book loop for bit. Where can I find the NCAA D1 basketball scheduling bylaws?

Speaking of scheduling, what do we know about next year's schedule at this point? Off the top if my head:

Hall of Fame Tip-Off in Connecticut (Play two of: Boston College, Texas Tech and La Salle, plus home games against two of: Sacred Heart, Maine, St. Peter’s and South Alabama)
@ Oklahoma
@ DePaul
B10/ACC Challenge (maybe away, but don't think it strictly alternates home/away)
Gavitt Games? (maybe home, not sure how they determine participation from year to year)

Am I missing anything? That's 7-8 games right there. It would be nice to get 1-2 solid home games. I wonder if we'll try to do something at the UC again.

How at a game against Marquette? Two x-Dukie HC's! Also maybe a Gonzaga rematch. Or how about home and home vs.Tulane? Road trip to New Orleans!

I think we need one or two higher profile non-con games. We've got the arena size (and location) this year to make it an enticing road trip for opposing fans of a major program, especially if we're ranked. What would you think about:

- Missouri - get them early in season while still trying to come together. They'll have big time frosh talent drawing national interest like Simmons did at LSU.
- Pac12 team like Arizona or Oregon. Get some west coast exposure and a chance to make some noise. AZ gonna be tough, though.
- ND rematch - lots of local interest and good for recruiting rep.
- Texas team such as TCU or SMU perhaps? Again, for exposure down South. No Baylor for obvious reasons.
