New NCAA rules on exhibition games

[yoda]

In May, NCAA changed the rules for DI exhibition games.

Now, any DI can schedule any other DI, DII or other for an exhibition game, and they can hold it openly and not need a waiver, as before.
And, get this, now any DI school can schedule up to THREE preseason exhibition games and charge admission.
WILL BRADLEY take advantage? I see no reason not to if you can charge admission and make it a revenue generating event.
Especially if you can host any school, even DI's... Maybe Green Bay, SIUE, WIU, or some nearby non-DI's.

And they are allowed to take a foreign preseason tour and play exhibition games EACH YEAR, instead of every four years.

One more change- as many as SIX different coaching staff members can do off-campus recruiting, and as many as four at any one time,
and they now allow high school freshmen to take campus visits.

I would certainly take advantage of this and get 3 exhibitions scheduled . Playing these at the RC and charging 10 dollars a ticket would add revenue . Forget about renting Carver for Exb. games simply because too many season ticket holders could care less about games that do not count.

No reason not to do it, and if a pre-season foreign tour is viable in the athletic budget, those should be utilized every year as well. Especially with essentially brand new roster construction every year, the players need time and experience to get to know each other and bond.
