Future Scheduling

[OilerNTN07]

With the addition of UIndy starting next season, I’d love to see the GMAC look at utilizing the final week of the season, as a “Rivalry Week”. I would imagine:

Findlay/Tiffin
UIndy/Ashland
Northwood/Hillsdale
Lake Erie/Thomas Moore

This would leave ODU and KWU, although you could also line up ODU with either Ashland or UIndy as well. Since these matchups have historically played a large role in who wins the conference/goes to playoffs, I think it would generate a lot of intrigue for the conference around D2 for that last week of the season.

Lake Erie and Thomas More have a rivalry?

...And Walsh vs ODU?

Alright, let’s take a slight step back here. I’m not saying there are historical rivalries between some of these, but I’m trying to group some established rivalries, with competition level. I didn’t think it would require as much hand-holding, but maybe I should have provided more context, or at least a simpler concept.

Maybe the GMAC should look at the last week of the season to schedule (relatively) traditional top teams, along with some established rivalries, to create more excitement for the last week of the season.

i do realize I forgot Walsh, and that may be a great option to pair with ODU.
