You'll see the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns play less of the Sun Belt Conference in 2021 but at least there will be baseball at the Tigue.
It's going to be hard to replace Cantrelle, Toro and Young
What is the SB's reasoning for going to less conference games? I don't expect we will have more OOC games; I am just trying to understand it.
The Sun Belt, from a strength standpoint, isn't as good as it was a few years ago. The Florida schools leaving had a lot to do with that. App and Ga. State have been very poor. ULM and Arkansas State also have struggled.
The league decided to cut the league schedule to 24 and give the schools two bye weeks in the middle of conference. It gives those who are in the hunt for post season to "schedule up" during those weeks.
With the American, the Atlantic Sun, the Big 12 and the Southland all having bye weeks, it makes sense. Lots of good teams to choose from.
(One of the Cajuns' bye weeks is the first week of conference play which is how we got TCU. We were supposed to play Sam in the other, but after Deggs was named HC, the series was cancelled. With that, and COVID to consider, the other bye week is either North Alabama or Houston Baptist. The other one is in pre-conference.)
In addition, your cross division series depend on your rolling RPI from the last three years. Good plays good. Cajuns play Coastal, South Al and Troy. ULM plays the two Georgia Schools and App. You still play everyone in your division.
Cajuns get Troy, Coastal, Texas State and Arkansas State at home. Travel to LR, UTA, ULM and USA.
Belt not know there is a vaccine......that is 95% effective and in a couple weeks after elders/advanced medical risk, teachers, politicians and 1st responders are all taken of......it will be made available to all?????
