Wonder if other mega conferences will follow suit and lower the amount of cupcakes they schedule.

Might not be good for the mid majors of the world who rely on those games as a big part of their budgets

Instead of cupcakes it will likely be games like the current MD-UCLA series that falls by the wayside….though that one will soon be a conference game anyway. Maybe they won’t be looking to schedule Georgetown now. So scrap playing the school a few miles away to play schools thousands of miles away. Welcome to the future of college sports.

Well if they go the route of dropping the student-athlete facade, run a 50 or 60 game regular season.  May Madness will be fun!
