Up until the invite to the BE, Creighton had the same problem as UD. F5 Folks said there was no upside to playing the mid-major Jays. Win v Creighton - you were supposed to win. Lose - what is the issue/problem (although most years not a "bad" loss). Join the B12, A-10, or AAC to upgrade your schedule...oh wait... :?

Rumor here is that Creighton will switch from UNL (Nebraska) to UNO (Neb-Omaha) in order to get a better, more competitive game as the city and state "Braggin' Rights" tilt. No H&H - Only at the CLink.

We are looking at 10 years worth of home games??? Seriously? And 3 ranked opponents in that time.... P5 or P6 doesnt mean squat if they're in the bottom of the league. play the stronger teams away or at neutral site. Shit, we have to do home and homes or neutrals with the top teams. That's the way it goes. We happen to have more ranked opponents at home just because of the sheer quality of our conference now and in the past.

UD flyer, sorry for the harsh response. I took the time to go back and look at the question you posed. Which was, why will Big East teams not scheduled date? I think you hit the nail on the head as it relates to Villanova. Nova is only going only going to do very Marquis games given its profile and the fact that we are already locked into the big five games. Mid-major teams are just not on the horizon for us. I get your frustration, we were there for years too. But unfortunately you're going to have to do it on neutral sites at best or more likely a ways. you're not going to get home and homes

What in the hell are you talking about? There's no rumor about us playing UNO year in year out instead of UNL. As much as I despise the Skers, UNO wouldn't be a more competitive game. (Yet)
