Author Message mf279801 General User Member Since: 8/6/2010 Location: Newark, DE Post Count: 2,472 Status: Offline     And we STILL can't get home and homes?!?    Posted: 3/21/2012 11:45:36 AM  I realize that the guys on this list http://www.ohiobobcats.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/032112aaa.html (specifically the ADs, but also the conference commissioners) have a fiduicary duty to do whats best for their programs, and that making a road trip to Athens might not qualify as being in the best finicial or program-strength interest of their programs, but we can't get a 2-for-1 (or hell, a 3-for-1) with any of these programs? (I'm excepting Doug Elgin here, since we are in the midst of a home and home with The Valley's Northern Iowa) Back to Top OhioStunter General User Member Since: 2/18/2005 Location: Chicago Post Count: 2,516 Status: Offline     RE: And we STILL can't get home and homes?!?    Posted: 3/22/2012 2:30:12 PM  Wouldn't it be great if the NCAA mandated that ALL games should be on a home and home basis? Of course, they wouldn't want to lose the revenue of having a big school in a small arena, but maybe the caveat is a home-home mandate for all schools that have arenas with at least a 6,000 or 7,000 capacity (higher than the 2011 national average of 5,237). Big coaches would balk, but I think this starts to level the playing field a bit.

I'd like to see them require that at least 50% be that.  Or maybe a third.  It might make RPI and SOS be more useful statistics for talking about at large bids.

It's probably the most important that that you've ever been told:  People dig the O H I O.  They will want us in their stadia and arenas.  Watch.  They want to revel in and with us.

The O H I O can accept invites to other arenas. But let's make sure we arrange for those teams to experience the C O N V O and the O Z O N E.

We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
