I just don't know how they think they can build excitement for the program playing that home schedule in the nonconference. Brutally bad.

Maybe it didn't work out in the past, but I think they are missing opportunities to have a big home game or two maybe on the Friday night before home football games. Give people that live a ways away a chance to see both teams in one trip. I say "big home game", but I'm really against scheduling any perennial top 25 teams. But it would be nice to play a team or two from a notch below that.

I don't think it's about the fans. I think it's about a coach who simply feels like his best/only chance to stack wins is to play the worst teams in the country. And who doesn't understand the smart way to schedule. Either way, it's awful, regardless of his motivations.

You aren't wrong that more and more of the marquee games are at neutral sites, but I don't think you will find many, if any, power conference teams with a home schedule as bad as ours. Last year, every home opponent was in the 300s. Campbell was around 200 last season, and if they are in that range this year, they will be the only non-300 team this season. Think of that -- 14-ish home games over two years, and all but one against teams in the 300s. And for all I know, Campbell might not be as good this season.
 
We probably will have an ACC game at home in the ACC/SEC challenge. But given we aren't at the top of the SEC, it probably won't be anyone particularly good.

2026-27 SWAC Champs!
 
i wonder how much of an empty stadium the new AD can take seeing. Cause he’s gonna see a lot of it next year. I don’t think there is an ounce of excitement around the program right now
 
Honestly at this point I'm for the consolidation and forcing scheduling of better teams. Playing major college games in non college arenas is stupid. I get the couple of tournaments you have each year and that's great to start a year. But just have it to where you play home and home with 2 ACC/Big 12//Big East/Big 10 teams all alternating on your OOC schedules. It would be better for the game if almost all of our schedules were against major conference basketball teams home and home. And better for the crowds both ways. It'll never happen but having games like Duke and Michigan played in a baseball stadium in Miami is stupid.
 
I assume Gerry Mac will have Cuse much better than they have been. Although they beat Tenn at home during the challenge last year.
 
Some of those early games should offer free seats to students to have some semblance of a home crowd. Hopefully we don't invite recruits to
come and see a 2/3 empty seated crowd for these pitiful games.

I believe tickets already are free.
