Mark Pope UK Coach wants more

[muskieman]

He said he would like to see a 40-game season. Says the season is too short with all the change and the turnover and the lack of continuity of teams, and also with revenue-sharing and everything else? It doesn’t make any sense that we’re at a 31-game season.

He went on to say, "For more the exhibitions, it would allow teams to get a better feel for one another rather than sorting some of that out in the games that count. Then, in the non-conference, a few more games would allow for better matchups in the sport and ones that could make some additional money for their departments. All of us right now as, as athletic departments are, are going to be more and more financially-challenged as the revenue-sharing, if the settlement goes through. So it’s a way for us to actually increase revenue significantly and have the freedom to actually, um, go find a couple more great games that really impactful.”

So, with the possibility of BE expansion, more games might make home and away games against opponents might be easier to accomplish
