The only problem I see with formula is that if you have a team in the preseason rankings that is ranked 11th, and becomes like a 3rd or 4th team in the conference. Then in essence, the top teams miss playing that team twice to help with RPI. Vice-versa is true too. What if a team that is ranked one becomes a dud? Other notes... Ensor is around until June 2020. MAAC schools will need to have ESPN production school facilities by 2019/2020. Siena does not have these facilities according to the news release. blog.timesunion.com/collegesports/maac-goes-to-18-game-basketball-schedule/22227/ |

This is fantastic!!! I have been calling for a similar proposal for years now. It is put up or shut up time for some of our members.

Wonder how the 18 game MAAC conf schedule impacts the home schedule ?

It should help as now members can't load up on guarantee games. More attention is going to be required to build the schedule which is essential when trying to build a conference.

Let's hope Siena never stinks again. In case buying season tickets for a projected 11th place team isn't bad enough, now you won't even get to see the top team in the league come to town.

If you are a projected last place team you won't want to see the top team come to town. These plans should have been implemented ten years ago if they wanted to be a top tier mid major conference. I just hope they stick with it as it will take awhile to see results.
