I wasn't a D1 athlete so went to Malone College to play college baseball. While at Malone they and Walsh (their rival) had a yearly event that was pretty cool. To kick off the beginning of each basketball season they'd invite two teams to town, let's just say Team A and Team B. We'd have doubleheaders on Friday night and Saturday night. Friday night's doubleheader would be hosted at one of the schools and then Saturday night's doubleheader would be hosted at the other school. If Malone hosted first, the first Friday night game would feature Walsh playing Team A and then in the nightcap Malone would play Team B. The next night, Saturday, the games would be at Walsh with the first game of the night being Malone playing Team A with the nightcap game being, of course, Walsh playing Team B. We'd have a lot of fans from both teams attend both nights. Four good games two nights in a row. You get to see your team in early season action. Plus you get to see how your biggest rival looks & imagine how the rivalry games might play out that year. It was always fun. We should do that with KSUcks.
We also need to renew our home-&-homes with Cleveland State.
Get a home-&-home going with Duquesne.
Continue the MAC-v-Sunbelt Challenge.
Tell the MAC we & Toledo want a home & home every year.
Get a couple games/year with Big East schools, who you'd like to think would be more willing due to our soccer affiliation. Of course these would be on the road, but maybe our soccer buddies would throw us a bone & give us some 2-for-1's away/home? We could play 2 BE teams on the road & have 1 at home.
