Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Nothing has been announced yet. That will probably come in a combined press conference sometime over the summer.
As much as I would like to see us participate, I'm not going to get my hopes up. If matchups are based upon performance for this year, there's no way we will play this coming year.

Mac said at one of the luncheons that we are out due to scheduling conflicts, at least that's what a friend in attendance told me shortly after the series was announced last fall.

Darn. Thanks for passing that along.

We can't move a meaningless buy game from the beginning of the conference calendar to make room for a Big ten team? And we know that a year in advance? Cmon that's crazy dumb if true.

Two teams are out, obviously, and they are going to rotate who it is to a large degree. Taking the first year off isn't stupid if its a road game to Northwestern that we are passing on, which it would be, or something similar.

The two that are out next year will be in 6 of 7 remaining years.

Exactly. And since we have a 100% chance of getting an uninspiring game if we do play, I would much rather sit out now and take my chances later rather than waste a participation year now.

So I am all for CU sitting out 15-16.

FS1 does a lot of things right, but then they don't have a selection show today and I really question what they're doing.

With ESPN and CBSSN with shows at 7pm and FS1 does have live MLS soccer on at that time. That is what Fox Sports Live is for

Penn hired former BC and Cornell coach Steve Donahue as the Quakers' head coach. Press conference tomorrow.
Friar fans no longer have to listen to him actively root against us while he announces our FS1 games...!
