Next Big Game - Aces @ Shox

During the interview he stated UE would be willing to play away games against any of IU, Louisville or Kentucky with no return game necessary at Evansville. UK was the only one even remotely interested.

There are more than three power five teams in the country

The conversation just focused on those schools since he was being interviewed on a Kentucky sports station. Since the Aces played at Arkansas this season, with no return date in Evansville, he's apparently open to other power 5 schools as well. I think part of the challenge also is how many of those "non-return" match-ups can a program schedule in a year and still have a reasonable number of home games for the fans.

It is not easy for members of conferences other than the Power Five.

The athletic department scheduler, usually an Assistant AD, must be persistent, diplomatic and a builder of relationships. Most of all, he has to be persistent and an effective negotiator.

The task is not easy and it is a year around job.

And the person in charge must have a telephone.
