Some random thoughts on football:
1. Ignoring MVFC play requirements, what could a reasonable independent schedule look like composed of teams slightly better than our Ken Pom rating?
For example: Rice @ 144; Nevada @ 147; Eastern Michigan @ 153; Sam Houston @ 163; Middle Tenn @168; Tulsa @ 173; Charlotte @ 183; Akron @ 184; UMass @214 and Kent State @ 237. Alternates: Presbyterian @ 210; North Alabama @207; Lindenwood @ 198; even Drake @197; Ball State @ 171 should be on the list; Wofford @ 195; E

2. How about a schedule of teams MOSTLy with worse Ken Pom Ratings: Duquesne @ 212; UMASS @214; WIU @ 222; Houston Christian @ 222; EIU @ 232; Tn St @ 233; Kent State @ 237; Butler @ 241; Dayton # 256; Valpo @ 263; Murray @ 257.

3. Finally, how about bundling football and basketball contracts to give us a competitive football schedule and an interesting non-conference basketball schedule
Butler @ 241; Bucknell @ 240; Cornell @ 236; Georgetown @ 235; UMASS at 214; Drake @ 197; Wofford @ 195; UPenn @191; Princeton @190; Furman @ 187; Tulsa @ 173; Lehigh @ 172; Richmond @ 165
