It seems that the release of schedules has been a bit slow and has only picked up some in the past week or two. I would think that half of the schedules would have been released by now. (Obviously, JMO.)I don't like to sound picky and I know that scheduling is tough, but this delay in announcing the games on this year's schedule is aggravating many fans.
What is keeping some details of the non-conference schedule from being released? If the complete schedule isn't locked in yet, then at least release info about the games and dates that are known.
We are now, less than 90 days from the start of the season, and we know virtually nothing about a single game on the schedule. And it seems the schedule gets announced later every year.
As I posted several months ago, fans need time to make plans if they are going to travel for a tournament or for non-conference games on the road. Also, people considering renewing season tickets or buying tickets for the 2026-27 season want to know what games are going to be on the schedule.
Many of those that have not released their entire schedule have at least released info about some of their games, and info about what tournaments they will be playing in. I am not asking to have every last date on the schedule released. But holding back the info on dates that are known, makes little to no sense, IMO.It seems that the release of schedules has been a bit slow and has only picked up some in the past week or two.

Only 71 schools have released their schedules, according to D1Docket, as of my writing this post. This leaves 294 schools that haven't released their schedules. This number includes Bradley. I'm sure you're not the only one who is a bit frustrated. Eventually, most of these schools will release their schedules, with most by Labor Day, a month from now, and most of the remaining stragglers by early- to mid-October. I hope Bradley won't be among the stragglers.
