My understanding is that it is only a three game event.  However, teams are free to make their own agreement for an additional game, if they want, and can include it in the event at a fourth game.  But the teams have to negotiate those games themselves. 

 

This year's extra games:

Northeastern at Davidson

Ball State at Purdue

App State at Alabama

 

Opted out of playing an additional game:

Virginia Tech

Wichita State

 

If possible I think UB should actually try and go on the road with this one and maybe play at Florida if they can as part of this.  It would be a homecoming of sorts for Davonta Jordan, Antwain Johnson and Ronaldo Segu

Is it challenging to get into a pre season tournament? What does it take to do that?

It is more challenging for us than some other schools, but our league is so focused on football in November and December that they don't really help place schools in these tournaments.  If you look at the MAAC, they sponsor both the Belfast Classic and the Advocare Tournament in Florida and as part of sponsoring those, they make sure their teams get spots in each tournament.

The MAC schools need to do all the work on their own and get basically zero help from the league.

My guess is Victor will be back with the students. He is part of the Spirit team and if you noticed there is no dance team or band during break. 

I get WVU is struggling but they still don’t lose at home. 

Any win in Morgantown is a good win

It's not an exhibition game, therefore, it's a regular game and will count on our record. 

These games count for the D-1 team, but are exhibitions for the non-D-1 team

Lemoyne being a D11 team not even sure it counts in the standings?? There was an excellent piece in the early part of the season about teams like UB when they become successful having a hard time scheduling home games against better D1 teams. They talked to many coaches including Nate about scheduling teams and the reasons behind it. Wonder if anyone can come up with the article. You would think with all the  conferences thru out the country UB should be able to find competitive teams. At any rate here’s  hoping because of UB’s success more people show up to see this team in spite of who they are playing. Go Bulls!!!!

You have to remember two things when trying to get home games.

1. It costs less for UB to buy a non-DI team.

2. The game does not count in UB's NET Rankings, or in the past the RPI.  So Buffalo is better of playing this game, than saying a MEAC team with a 300+ NET rankings.. it will only drop them in those lists.
