See... and we heard this same stuff when MR was here that we tried to schedule all these different games.....It's not like we aren't trying. Odom said we tried to schedule a game at Duke last season and it just didn't work out.
A game at Duke
A game vs Baylor in Dallas.....
And whatever other games there were out there supposedly..... but none of them panned out.
But the question that never seems to get answered fully or honestly.... is Why didn't it work out? Yet.... every time you turn around another A10 school is scheduling at the very worst a road game at a P5 school. Some have even been fortunate enough to get H&H's out of the P5's.
Is it because Ryan Odom.... and before that Mike Rhoades & before that Will Wade.... don't have the connections with P5 coaches (outside of Tony Bennett) enough to get big OOC games against others?
Is it because we are asking for too much money for a "buy game" for the P5?
Is it because we are asking for a home game in return & the P5's refuse to come play here (other than occasionally UVA)?
Or could it be the greed of the AD to load up with as many home games as possible, to milk all the money they can out of the donors & season ticket holders?
If I had to guess... it's somewhere between the last 2 reasons I listed...... but all we ever hear is "it just didn't work out".... or "it was a scheduling issue".
