Scheduling isn't easy

[Yotes]

There has been some outrage over the home game we have over NAIA William Penn, but after looking around I see that we aren't alone.

USD plays NAIA William Penn
SDSU plays D3 UW-Oshkosh
SIU plays 11 games
IlSU plays 11 games
UNI had a late cancellation, and the only likely replacement would be a lower-division team

Five out of ten teams are only playing 11 games against D1 competition. I honestly believe that SDSU has lost out on a potential playoff berth with their game against a D3 school, they will have no room for errors. Seeing so many MVFC schools fail to fill a full schedule really makes me want our AD to get out and fill the 2015 and 2016 schedules ASAP.

Would be nice to play a full round robin in the MVFC. Would be one less game to find every year.

I'd be a bigger proponent for a full round-robin if the playoff committee actually considered SOS as they should. By far the toughest conference, but no slack given come selection time.

D3 teams from Wisconsin are dangerous for the Jacks. I don't think they should put this one in the win column just yet.
