The official 2025-2026 Schedule Thread

quick analysis of home schedules
A-10 home schedule is great
OOC schedule is what it is and at this point in scheduling we are very unlikely to get any Quad 1 teams playing us at EagleBank and may be very lucky to get a Quad 2 at EagleBank

FWIW based on Torvik for ODU JMU Winthrop Jacksonville Penn New Hampshire and Loyola MD

ODU-176
JMU-139
Winthrop-180
Jacksonville-249
Penn-286
New Hampshire-350
Loyola Maryland -310

Total: 1690
Average 241

Id be surprised if we get that average number under 200 or anywhere close, but happy to be wrong.

Flex schedule in conference and OOC scheduling arrangements with other top mid-major leagues is the way to go, but the A-10 office as usual is not willing to even try anything that requires even the slightest amount of creativity.

Maybe because both Dayton and vcu get high-profile OOC games, many at home with packed arenas covered by ESPN, they would resist expanding the A10 conference game schedule or expanding arrangements with other mid-major conferences. What would be beneficial for Mason may not be desirable for them and the A10 Commissioner likes the exposure that those high-profile games brings to the league.

I’m not talking about expanding the A-10 schedule. Flex scheduling gets the best teams in the league more opportunities against the other best teams instead of resume-killing bottom-feeders, not sure why anyone would have a problem with that.

I just want 17 home game this coming season. Given the price increases that's all I want at this point. If we end up with 14 home games like the 21-22 season I'll be pissed. Give me fake value for my dollar please.
