After season ticket renewal.

Take your money first then, release a poor schedule.

Highlights:
- 5 of the first 7 are on the road.
- Followed by 5 straight at Home
- Season Finale Home vs. Southern Miss
- Dustin Kerns has been the Head Coach at App State since 2019 and has yet to play a single game in the Cajundome. This will be the 5th consecutive season App State does not play @ Louisiana.

Beginning to feel like the old WKU setup. Saturday games there none here for about a decade

But playing App in basketball isn’t a big deal.

Does the distance of the Thursday game have any bearing on the 400 mile rule for the Saturday game?
What happens if home team of Thursday game says no to moving to wednesday?

It's automatic. The 400 mile rule applies to Saturday games. It's the distance between games that is the issue.

[R1Letterman]

Maybe not the team saying no, but If the venue is booked on Wednesday what happens?

Four games in a row twice. Maybe get to one day of class during each trip. Similar to last year. Does the Belt hate students. I could not have survived that. I’ll have to look at how many other bball belt teams get to do this.

We will also have a Saturday home game on Saturday February 10 against a MAC school to be determined.

As far as the overall schedule goes, the 2 games we are buying are supposedly against higher quality mid majors than we have played at home in the past. I am not at liberty to reveal those yet as last I heard the contracts have not been finalized. Of course that was almost a month ago so things could have changed and I am just not aware of current status.

Actually, depending on how they travel, this could result in fewer missed classes. You're going to see this sport gravitate more and more to charter flights. The three Eastern newcomers charter almost exclusively.

If you play Wednesday, you leave via charter Tuesday afternoon. You play Wednesday night and come home right after the game. You attend class Friday (everything is before noon) and leave Friday afternoon after classes are finished.

Under the current schedule.....

If you fly commercially, you have to get an early flight out, otherwise you're looking at lots of delays and cancellations. So you miss class all day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning.

The key is charter flights for the front end of a two game trip.

A. Where is nearest airport to app state for charter?
B. Dist between odu and app st is less than 400 miles but of you go through Charlotte then it is more than 400
C. Texas st and USA are each less than 400 from UL and you would pass back through lafayette on way from TX st to usa.
D. Scenario B. Does not get the Wed. Game but c. Does?

Seems like you could also make classes on Thursday, depending on how late you get back in.
