Noticed that Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth all play Brown twice; the first one counts, the second one is non-conference. Penn, Cornell, Columbia, Princeton scheduled the old fashioned way. What do you think is up with that?
I'm sure with schools leaving conferences and the 1st regular season games being before the Ivy League reseason begins limits the Ivy Leagues schools in who they can play. The Big East pushed their 1st regular season games up a week leaving plenty of schools looking for games.
Well, I'm still confused about this. Press release on Yale's website refers to the two games with Brown as a "scheduling quirk." Hard to imagine that Dartmouth, Yale and Harvard can't find other opponents to play instead. Throwing Brown a bone because they're cost constrained? BC, BU, UCONN no longer interested...it's too easy, I guess.
