Is as joke! Kentucky was replaced by Ball State, although the UK schedule still shows us playing on 4-21.

Check out these heavyweights! Including 3 Division 2 teams
Rhode Island
Northeastern
George Mason
Maine
Tampa
Army
SIU Edwardsville!!
Rollins
Hartford
Central Michigan
North Dakota State
Maryland-Baltimore-County
Maine
And the always fun non league game in Florida vs a B10 foe (indiana)

Mid week games like..
Ball State
Xaxier
Morehead St
Akron
EMU

Sorry to be negative, but my eyes are still hurting. I'm so dissapointed
A potential game vs Miami, Notre Dame, Kent St and a pair vs UL are the only bright spots i see. Also 2 vs good UNF team

Check out the rest..if you dare

rhg.......You call the schedule a joke but compared to what other teams' schedules? ("Northern" teams' schedules, that is.) I'm disappointed that they aren't playing KY, too. I had also heard (last summer) that the Bucks might have been taking a trip to the West Coast for some games which obviously isn't the case. But if you play all your pre-conference games in FL you are pretty much going to get the type of teams that you see on the schedule. Actually, I think the Big East-Big Ten Challenge is a good start and will hopefully lead to better spring competition in the years ahead.

I was shocked a couple of years ago when U Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) showed up on the basketball schedule and am again with the baseball sched. I used to live near the campus, it is little more than a Columbus State.

I am comparing our schedule only to other B10 teams. Our SOS has ranked 10th, 9th, & 9th in the B10 over the last 3 years, and this year wont be any different... heck we ranked 4th in the state of Ohio in SOS last season! We play 11 games vs teams that finished ranked outside of the top 200 in RPI last year & that's not even counting midweek games or games vs DII teams.

If we ever want to be taken seriously, we have got to stop playing so many games against teams ranked in the bottom third in RPI . Everybody has a few turds on their schedule, but NOBODY in our league plays as many as we do...look it up.

I love this B10/Big East challenge thing. It is a great way to start the year, and i wouldnt mind seeing it every year.

As far as kentucky goes, i have'nt given up on that game yet. I hope it happens...UK seems to think we are still gonna play on 4-21.
