Alabama football schedules tomato cans every year, but have the benefit of having the most dominant conference in the Nation. The Big East is now continuously under ranked and have to go all Gonzaga with their scheduling. That’s fine, but building cohesion is important, and having Kansas at a “neutral site”and Indiana on the road poses the type of challenges that they need, the team shouldn’t have to play 5 power non conference games before the gauntlet of the Big East just to have a 15 win bubble team. That said, I didn’t remember FD had a basketball team, and only thought of them when they sent me literature in ‘93 about applying.
