Scheduling, Part II
Andy Katz checks in today with part two of the WWLIS' three-parter on scheduling.

Think some Patriot League teams had a tough time getting home games? Take a look at the Colonial Athletic Conference. George Mason has only four non-conference home dates this season, Drexel just three and Hofstra only has two, including a BracketBusters game in February.

Teams in the Missouri Valley are also having problems getting home games, at least against major conference teams.

Bottom line, the major conference teams, for the most part, simply won't play a mid-major on its own floor. As Tom Pecora, Hofstra's coach, points out in the article, major conference teams are playing 18 home games while mid-majors are playing 10 or 12 at home.

MVC commissioner Doug Elgin sums the situation up pretty accurately in the final three words of the story; "It's not right."
