During both the men's & women's tournament broadcasts, the commissioner joined the telecasts. Not all details for next season with the 3 adds have been finalized but he did say 20 league games per team is all but finalized. The exact mechanics of who you face and how often still being worked out. Additionally, Arch Madness/Hoops in the Heartland seeding & format still being determined but expect 4 games on Thursday.

So Drake night will no longer exist. Perhaps it will now be called Evansville day.

Don't mess with karma.

Moving forward.....

I know cusa scheduling had 2 open games. They scheduled the top teams vs each other.

Des Moines is hosting in the 2022-23 NCAA tournament round of 64 and 32.  The four Iowa D1 schools might be able to attract four big name schools to four neutral site games similar to Drake's visit to Atlanta against Clemson.

It would be kind of cool to create and Iowa VS. day at the Well. Unite all 4 fan bases, and bring in solid opposition for 2 sessions. Illini and NW did this a few years ago at the UC then NW and Iowa teamed up the following season. Not sure you make it an MLE. Maybe find an organizer so each visiting team could have an additional game before or after the event.

Anyways that gate revenue is always the obstacle
