Something to keep an eye on- a POSSIBLE cancellation for this weekend That doesn’t help schedule OU/UD unless UIC also is cancelled.

I was thinking how much I (& probably a few posters here) really look forward to our games. Just giving everyone a heads up that we may end up being disappointed with a cancellation this weekend. In the past, Covid cancelled games involving U of D have ruined my day

Maybe we will add a game if IUPUI cancels Saturday. The Jags only had 6 scholarship players and one coach available for their last game.

the rumor going around and I trust this source.. IUPUI is attempting to save money and not travel. I will be interested to see if the two games are no contests or not.

I guess if the game is cancelled we could offer a Monday game against OU. They will probably turn it down on. Kampe will probably say you can't do a make-up game 16 days from a full moon its in the HL rule book.

This is where a strong conference would manage issues at hand. Get with the involved parties with a list of dates match them up and get it done. A max of four phone calls would complete the existing non games. It would carry a lot more weight then advertising Indianapolis as a Destination City.

Is the Horizon the only conference that allows its members to decide whether or not they wish to make up games? It seems every other league determines when and where games will be rescheduled…..even if it means that teams might play 3 games in a week. Detroit has been so totally disrespected by the Leagues decisions on our Mens and Womens schedule. That alone should be an incentive to get out and find a new home.

Serious question, what are your top three suggested conferences Detroit Mercy should seek to join that they would have a legitimate chance of being accepted in?

When Butler and then Valpo left I really thought the U of D was the leagues key go-to team, I guess not

I only have one suggested conference at this time and it is spelled MAAC. If you insist on a second, let’s go with A10.

As I posted elsewhere, I think UDM should at least kick the tires on MAAC membership (as that conference is in current expansion mode), makes sense given what would be a good institutional fit. As to the A10, no problem with making that a long term aspirational objective, but I have a hard time seeing that Detroit Mercy has anything close to the type resume that league is looking for, and I’m not aware that they are looking to add members (with the addition of Loyola, a recent Final Four team, the A10 will be at 15 schools).

Larrytitan, your right on, joining the MAAC would surely get you out on those snow-covered roads.

Probably doesn't exist at this point. Otherwise... there are lots. A10, AAC, C-USA, MVC. Not taking travel, etc into consideration because if you want to be a big boy you eventually need to act like a big boy. We desperately need out of this league and the only remedy would seem to be winning. I'd take the money ear-marked for the Titan Club and pay it directly to 3 or 4 recruits who wouldn't come here otherwise. I'd win the league and go to the tourney the next 4 years and down the road... when the scandal becomes public... I'd suffer the consequences from my chair in the A-10. Lol
