@eefallen, carry on as you were, undeterred by my criteria of what makes sense, since that makes you happy. PS, I dislike your posts so much, that I keep this thread bookmarked, open it every morning, smile at your latest findings, and when helpful to my schedule rubric, which is quite often, I rep them.
UCLA is refusing to play UNC in the state of North Carolina because of the LGBT bathroom situation. Should UCLA be forced to forfeit the scheduled game? What do people think about this?
Of course the Bruins shouldn't forfeit the game. I'm not sure why UCLA scheduled it in the first place.
well, since the NCAA itself refused to allow tournament games in NC while the law was in effect, and the recent change is only a partial retraction, it could be that UNC ought forfeight games in North Carolina.dd UCLA is a state funded public university. California law, unlike NC law, demands equal protection for everybody, and the NCAA , as a non-profit private business association, does not Trump state law.( see what I did there?) In fact, the NCAA's own bylaws recognize that no bylaws can go against state and, and that all activities of the NCAA should be free of gender bias. Note that these bylaws have been in place since 1994! I welcome your justification for UCLA having to forfeight a game under NCAA bylaws.
Please tell me what bathroom situation? I live in NC and there is NO bathroom issue as we speak.. if you are referring to HB2, that was revoked months ago. move on folks.
May 10, 2017 By Joanne Norell NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- The University of Notre Dame women's soccer team will look to replicate the regular-season success it enjoyed in 2016 against one of the nation’s toughest schedules when the Fighting Irish kick off the 2017 season this fall. The Irish announced the 2017 schedule Thursday, highlighted by 10-of-18 opponents who finished last season ranked within the National Soccer Coaches Association of American (NSCAA) Top 25 or were receiving votes, and nine that qualified for last year's NCAA Championship. The Irish earned a share of the 2016 regular-season Atlantic Coast Conference title, posting a 7-1-2 record in league play. They captured the No. 1 overall seed in the ACC Championships, advancing to the semifinals at MUSC Health Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina, and finishing the year with a No. 21 national ranking. The 2017 slate includes nine regular-season match-ups at Alumni Stadium, while the Irish will travel to eight different campuses to take on nine opponents. Notre Dame will get its first taste of competition with exhibitions matches against Purdue and Northwestern. The Irish will welcome the Boilermakers on August 9 and close out the exhibition slate at Evanston against a Wildcat team coming off a 16-3-4 season and NCAA Round of 16 appearance. The regular season will commence at home against a pair of in-state opponents as the Irish welcomes Butler on August 18 and Ball State on August 20. Notre Dame will then travel to Iowa to take on a Minnesota team that finished the 2016 season ranked 15th nationally on August 25, as well as the host Hawkeyes on August 27. The Irish will open September against South Carolina (Sept. 1) and Santa Clara (Sept. 3) at Alumni Stadium. The Gamecocks posted a 21-1-1 record in 2016, reached the NCAA quarterfinals and finished the season with a No. 5 record. The Broncos were also national quarterfinalists and wrapped up the season ranked No. 17. Notre Dame will then hit the road for three games — at Ohio State (Sept. 8), at Toledo (Sept. 10) and at Clemson (2016 No. 12; Sept. 16) for the Atlantic Coast Conference opener. Matches against Duke (2016 No. 7; Sept. 21), NC State (2016 No. 24; Sept. 24) and Wake Forest (Sept. 29) will wrap up the month of September at home. 2017 Notre Dame Women's Soccer Schedule All Times ET August 9 -- Purdue (Exhibition), 4 p.m. 13 -- @ Northwestern (Exhibition), 1 p.m. 18 -- Butler, 7 p.m. 20 -- Ball State, 1:30 p.m. 25 -- vs. Minnesota (@ Iowa), 5 p.m. 27 -- @ Iowa, 2 p.m. September 1 -- South Carolina, 7 p.m. 3 -- Santa Clara, Noon 8 -- @ Ohio State, 7 p.m. 10 -- @ Toledo, 1 p.m. 16 -- @ Clemson*, 7 p.m. 21 -- Duke*, 7 p.m. 24 -- NC State*, 1 p.m. 29 -- Wake Forest*, 5 p.m. October 5 -- @ Virginia*, 7 p.m. 8 -- Syracuse*, 1 p.m. 14 -- Virginia Tech*, 7 p.m. 19 -- @ Florida State*, 7 p.m. 22 -- @ Miami*, Noon 26 -- @ North Carolina*, 6 p.m.

Three of Duquesne's 18 opponents saw postseason play in the 2016 NCAA Championship, including national runner-up West Virginia, who advanced to the College Cup Final last season. Duquesne opens the 2017 season at home, hosting cross-town rival Pittsburgh (2-15-1, 1-9 Atlantic Coast Conference) on Aug. 20 on Rooney Field.

Duquesne returns to Rooney Field to host defending Missouri Valley Conference champion Illinois State (14-6-3, 5-0-1) on Sept. 1, beginning a three-game homestand for the Dukes.

The Dukes remain home to face Xavier (7-11-1, 1-8-0 Big East) Sept. 8. The Musketeers return leading scorer and All-Big East Second Team selection in junior forward Samantha Dewey.

The Bonnies return A-10 All-Rookie selection Sabrina Sousa-Sampson and leading scorer Danielle Vis. The Dukes picked up a 4-1 win over SBU last season, extending their all-time series lead to 13-7-0. The Dukes visit George Washington (11-7-3, 4-3-3 A-10) on Oct. 22. Last season the Colonials fell to A-10 Champion Dayton in the A-10 semifinals.

(Nov. 3 and Nov. 5).
I believe that this was the UCLA game as part of the UNC Nike Classic, but I now understand that the Bruins canceled.

'Mmmm... not quite. Travel bans with public funds are still in place for the states of California, Minnesota, NY, Connecticut, and Vermont.
Travel bans may still be in effect, but the law as it stands right now in NC, is the exact same as pre HB2. so, imho, the problem exists with those states who have chosen to ban a state for having the SAME exact laws that exist in their states.. Now please enlighten me how is this 1. good for ANYONE, or 2. nothing more than other states being petty...
About same number of D1 schedules have been released as by this date last year, but now's when it really should start to pick up.

That's a helluva schedule for UVA--I don't think they have to worry about RPI this year! But how do you get away with playing 6 of 9 conference games at home? Does anybody know how schedules are actually made--or I should say the conference schedule? Obviously, universities schedule their own out-of-conference games, but how are conference opponents and venue chosen? Does a conference committee pull teams out of hat, do they sit down and mix and match? How's it work? I would think that an effort would be made to equalize home and away games, and that has long seemed to be the case--but now with these monster conferences, if seems less so. We see some teams that have to play all the best teams in the conference some years, others with a much more favorable schedule, some teams playing 6 of 9 at home and some the opposite.
Notice: Effective July 1, 2017 Valparaiso moves from the Horizon Conference to the Missouri Valley Conference. This was just announced 2 days ago. It looks like there ill be a lot of schedule jiggling. For starters, Detroit has retracted it's 2017 schedule that was posted April 6th.
I see 6 out of 10 because you left out @NC St. I am not sure if it is an error, because usually they are scheduled to play 5H-5A in ACC. As for draw, there is a rotation involved if you don't play each team once due to the size of the conference.
I'm pretty sure this is just a typo on UVA's part. From what I can deduce, most likely the unc game will be in chapel hill, as last year it was already in Charlottesville
