I’d say this is better than previous schedules and a step in the right direction for home games.

Like the one d2 school and UC Santa Barbara is a pretty good top 150 team.

Youngstown State is pretty terrible but better than Costa Rica Junior College

Seems like Maggards involvement has helped

Agree 100%! Outside of Loyola, this is the type of schedule we need to play yearly.

Hey, it’s a schedule I can get on board with! Time to give credit where credit is due.

Well done to Dr. Maggard and the coaching staff.

Also to add, I see we play Detroit Mercy in Vegas. Isn’t Justin Miller there now?

Yes Detroit Mercy is where Miller went. Not sure if he was granted eligibility for this season or if he will be sitting as a transfer.

It has been referenced before that the Youngstown and UCSB games would be money games with no return. Was any further info released on that?

[CajunRebel]

So how much did we pay for the 293rd ranked team to come play at the Cajundome?
