Schedule making by legislation

[Dane Pound]

There's a story on CHN about the State of Missouri legislature considering a bill to make all the Divison I teams in the state play each other every year. I remember a few years ago Pennsylvania was considering a similar bill because Penn St. and Pitt couldn't come to terms on scheduling games.

 

This might be the only way we'd see an Albany-Buffalo game. College Basketball: Scheduling Conflict

Don't see how they have any right to include private colleges, whose number would make this unworkable in NY anyway.

I think a UAlbany/Buffalo game would be a great matchup. I think other states have gotten into the scheduling business. I remember reading alot about West Virginian politicians pressuring WVU and Marshall to start playing each other in Football. Didn't Virginia's politicians have a part in getting Virginia Tech in the ACC when the whole big east breakup was happening.
