Earlier this month the final game of our road series with Tech was cancelled due to snow, and because of some strange 72-hour rule (a series must be completed within 72 hours of the visiting team's arrival for the series) the game was not made up. What does "team's arrival" really mean? Does the clock start when they cross the city limits, get to the hotel, or arrive at the field? My mind is currently spinning with ways to exploit this rule. Irregardless, the series ended in a split. And now we are making the game up by playing McNeese State. This confused me. Why play this game? Because of that 72-hour rule there cannot be a conference minimum-game requirement. If there is not conference minimum then I cannot imagine there is a NCAA minimum. It is not like season ticket holders are getting ripped off, the game was going to be in Lubock. This can only hurt our RPI (McNeese State is 13-27 so I am guessing their RPI is 23987). We did have some sort of weekend-Tuesday-weekend rhythm throughout the year, but 4 days rest before a HUGE home-away series with Texas seems like a good idea. I guess $Bill has to generate profit anywhere he can.
