TCU -18 vs Louisiana Basketball

[zephyr]

We are required to have 14 home games every year as part of the Learfield contract. We have 15 this year because we have 20 conference games, not 18 as last season. Also, previously agreed to contracts called for both SLU and McNeese to come here this season. The 14 home game requirement may be a factor in the reluctance to do 2 for 1 deals.

Mike, does this really affect our ability to enter into 2 for 1's with schools? We can work a different, lower level school for a home game to compensate for the extra road game. Teams do this every year.

Can't answer that question. Probably not an obstacle that can't be handled if we really wanted it to do. Learfield 14 home game requirement may be only a slight factor in this but one none the less. Larger factor may be the reluctance of the administration to enter in such deals.
