Basketball always seems to get more engagement than football. I wonder if it is because there is no NBA team in Buffalo. But yes I agree, I love the activity.
In my ideal (unrealistic) world. A few southeastern schools leave the ACC and with Syracuse, BC, and Pitt staying they decide to add some more northeastern schools in UB, UConn, and UMass. Will never happen but it would be awesome if it did.
I believe each team has 2 games in the challenge each season. Looks like the first one will be home for all MAC teams, so I am guessing the second will be away.
