Pope’s non conference schedule…
- Thread starter J-Ryan
- Start date
I think this year is a "wash" in terms of quality of schedule. We still have the Zags and the Champions Classic and the CBS Classic. Outside of that I could see Pope schedule a couple of "directional schools" to help build some early momentum and start the season off with a couple of feel good wins. Which is completely understandable.
I don't expect seismic shifts.
CBS Classic will die one day soon because of tv contracts. That might open up variety.
But Mitch has to have a dozen home games with no return because every penny must be grubbed.
The question will be who those are against. Does he play Utah State instead of unc wilmington

He's not playing around and will want to schedule tough games.
St John's is going to happen and hopefully a couple unexpected games.
2025 Maui please!!

I don't foresee too many tough games this season. Next year though with a year of culture building, portal familiarity, NIL building, etc? He will start really scheduling good and challenging games.
13 non-conference if league stays at 18 conference games.
Home- Loserville
Atlanta- PUKE
Seattle- Gonzaga
CBS -? - Ohio St.

I hope we drop the Champions Classic and the CBS classic.
Would much rather play in Maui or the Battle for Atlantis or another tourney.
Maybe even start our own tourney.

Get back into the Maui Invitational.
Maybe scrap the CBS Classic.

Probably not a huge change from the jump other than the St John’s series.
We have agreements in place with Indiana, the CBS event (which I suspect won’t last much longer), Champions Classic, Gonzaga, and of course the SEC/ACC challenge.
In the short term, it would be cool to add some state schools into the mix for 1/2 of our annual “buy” games. That’s something else small that could happen in year 1.
Per his introductory press conference, I’d say early-season tournaments will be back in play in a couple of years (when we are next invited), including Maui.

Imo I get the nostalgia but we should absolutely stay in these. It's huge for brand awareness and exposure. I'm guessing they can be reconciled with the others too.
Change isn't always bad and us getting in those games were definitely a plus. Now with cal gone maybe we can get in that Nike tournament too. Cal's spat with Nike really hurt us for a while.
Agreed, get rid of that stupid thing and set up Home and Home's with UNC, maybe Baylor?
I can see them scheduling BYU at some point, I could also see him scheduling Utah Valley at some point. We will get an improved Louisville this year too.
I'd like to see a rotation of Eastern,Western Murray st and Moorehead on the schedule. Play at least one if not two of those every year.
That's better than the past several years of those stupid 300 ranked round Robin garbage
