Interesting look into Duke if you have the time. Do we have a sports nutritionist on staff?

Not that St. Mary’s

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Haha yea I didn't think so. I imagine this Saint Mary's is from Frederick or some place in Maryland.

I know there were some discussion about the promotional giveaways not being guaranteed. According to the email about the mini plans that went out yesterday they are being guaranteed for the mini game plans. I would assume the same is true for season ticket holders.

Not only do the mini plans provide discounts over single game pricing, this year in 2024-25, they also GUARANTEE you the fan the promotional giveaway if there is one at your selected games.

As all things Mason, right in the middle of the road. Watch out for the false optimism for GW after they pummel that crap schedule.

Could be better but could be worse
I guess we shouldn't complain

Thanks for posting this. Nice to see that Mason is mid pack in scheduling which is what I expect. Room for improvement, but much improved overall.

Hopefully going forward we can schedule closer to a vcu or SLU. I do find it interesting the difference between our schedule and vcu is very small, only about 13 points.

GWs schedule is downright embarrassing and shouldn't be acceptable for an A10 program.

I read an explanation for the GWU Scheduling
it is among the worst 10 of the 361 Div I programs

there is an A-10 mandate that teams must win 80% of their OOC schedules

I believe if you look at the Torvik rank of the A-10 school vs its OCC schedule that that delta embeds the 80%-win ratio, but it generates a weak Strength of Schedule, that must be improved by league play, otherwise the A-10 is a one bid league

I believe a better approach would be 60%-win ratio but with a set minimum Strength of Schedule
This would force "better" OOC scheduling and better games for the fan base
Teams would be forced to limit the 300+ buy games for more 100 level competitive games

What, how is there a Mandate? What do they do ? Kick you out if you lose too much? Just curious how that works?

Sent down to the Patriot League if it happens 3 years in a row.

There used to be a system of incentives under the old RPI model based around tge average RPI of your OOC opponents, but it sounds like that’s gone. Maybe it’s win percentage now?
