Scheduling dilemmas

There's a little more news on the story of Saint Louis' Rick Majerus turning down a home-and-home with Seton Hall in favor of a home game with Rockhurst...

SLU is playing Chicago State -- of all teams....lowly CSU with SLU having almost nothing to gain and everything to lose by playing such a historically horrid team!

And yet -- now it's being revealed that their game with Chicago State is the front end of .....
A home and home agreement!
wow --- turning down a home and home with a Big East team and landing a home and home with one of the worst D-I teams....now that's recruiting genius and prowess all rolled into one...

Majerus didn't turn down the home-and-home with Seton Hall, his bosses turned it down because they wanted a quota of home games filled.

Chicago St was a choice in order to get a player from Chicago to play a "homecoming" game of sorts....but couldn't you just do a buy game at DePaul instead. Then again, maybe DePaul won't schedule St Louis ;)
 
Hmm..interesting spin, but it doesn't add up...
Mitchell is NOT from Chicago he's from Milwaukee -- and there's at least a dozen places he could play nearby from UW-GB to Bradley if he simply wanted to get within a few hundred miles of Mitchell's home town....
even playing at Platteville would be better than playing at Chicago State!!
And I can't imagine any of his family or friends wants to travel to the area of town where CSU is...:roll:

are you saying RM is not responsible for his own schedule?

Yeah, CSU is questionable though. I didn't say his logic was sound ;)

As for the schedule, I bet he had to fill some quota about home games (remember reading it somewhere, can't find the source, I know, I know). My guess is in order to schedule a home-and-home with SHU, he's have to give up a road game at Portland, Duke, or Missouri St.

As a SLU alum, I am still not saying this is a good game but they do have players from the Chicago area. Just like Willie Reed is from KC area and may be the reason for a return game to Rockhurst next year. Not even good games, they are awful but there may be a legitimate reason.

BTW -- DePaul just finally released their schedule and it's pitiful....not one single BCS opponent among the non-conference teams scheduled....they may catch one in a tournament but none scheduled...their slate is terrible...

And they're playing not one but two regular season home games at their 3,000 seat on-campus arena!

Again, will all DePaul fans on this board who care where they play their home games please respond.
