Isn't San Francisco a Q2? Home against a team ranked in the top 75 at the end of last season? We are mandated to schedule 4 Q1/2 teams each year. Outside on San Francisco and Santa Clara, there are no other Q1/2 guarantees. They get some leeway with the MTE/Tournament possibilities - but I am not 100% sure how those potential games are counted in the mandate. A team should schedule four to be safe and then any extra would be icing but that's harder to do.

What does this "mandate" actually say?

Is there anything that has teeth if and when schools don’t comply/fall short of the target?

I thought in the past one punishment was the ability to host league championships in other sports.

Yeah, but to an Illinois State or Missouri State it's a potent threat.

Had to double check this, but the Santa Clara game is actually a Q3 game (this is according to last years metrics). San Fran, South Florida, and Princeton would qualify as Q2, however the MTE would have to fall just right for us to get one, let alone both of those games. Regardless of punishment, this is a relatively weak schedule and we need to find a few more higher ranked opponents.

They were Top 100 the two previous seasons. Bradley wouldn't have scheduled the game otherwise.

They were Top 100 the two previous seasons. Bradley wouldn't have scheduled the game otherwise. So that rule is stating that a team that’s finished within a certain quadrant at least once in the last two years counts towards that quadrant? I’m not sure on the verbiage, but I’m also not the sharpest tool around. Santa Clara finished 105 in NET last year, but obviously had that great year with Podziemski the year before.

Right.
I’ve seen the list of acceptable teams and Santa Clara is on it.

And Jalen Williams the year before that too. I gather that if they don’t have the status the previous year, then they’d need to have had it both 2 and 3 years out.

Find a P5 that doesn't cost a fortune to get to and won't beat you by 20 and get bought.

I used to think you don’t buy with the hanger ons in power conferences, and instead take a shot at making a real statement, but things are way different than they used to be. Do you have anyone that stands out as top of mind as candidates you want to get? I think Butler may have open dates where we might be looking to fill around mid to late November, so that sounds pretty good to me.

Butler has turned that down more than one time this summer but the later it gets the less picky you can be.

Off topic sorta, but the Colorado State student center has a pizza and beer joint in its basement.

Looks like Louisiana Monroe got swapped with Texas State for our MTE. That’s a slight upgrade as Texas State was 206 in NET last year compared to ULM at 309.
