Shown is this year's OOC schedule
Caveat:
I have no idea if there are games that have already been contracted for the 22-23 season
I believe there is a minimum home game contract with the eagle bank arena management company - mandating 16 home games per season - i could be wrong
13 games OOC
3 away Holiday tournament
leaves 10 games
9 home games in league
7 home games OOC to fill the home game arena contract
MY wishes
a)
1 game vs top 10 team
1 game vs team ranked 11-20
1 game vs team ranked 21-30
These will likely be all away games - until we improve our stature and relevance
b)
Formation of DMV 4 or 5 similar to the Big 5 in Philly
GMU, Maryland, Georgetown, American and/or Howard
c) schedule analysis to understand the effects of day of week on attendence, tv coverage, etc
Which leads to a more strategic design of the OOC schedule to produce more attendence, ticket sales and heighted program awareness
d) one away game at Howard, scheduled in conjuction with a women's game so we can see the effects and how that scheduling paradigm works out
( I have partial season tix to Howard)
e) One home game, vs a regional rival - JMU, ODU, American, Navy, scheduled in conjuction with a woman's game - 4:30 pm woman's game , 7 pm men's game
f) Unversity offer buses to select regional away games - at least one bus for students and another bus for non students
Subsidize the student's buses and tickets
so based on last years schedule - Morgan, Howard, Coppin, JMU, Maryland are all about an hour or less away
ODU, Navy and Norfolk may need to be weekend games for this to work
g) A balance in the upgrade of schedule to include projected wins, increase in SoS, increase in likeihood of a NCAA Tourney bid, a 20 win season, increased attendance - both home and away, increased TV Appearances, better TV Appearances ( better than ESPN+)
h) home and away OOC Contracts could include an exchange of say 50 student tix and 50 adult tix, initialy made available to STH and student fans, at the same effective price of a GMU home game as part of the STH package
Comments? Criticms? Anything missing?
