I'm assuming the discussions of a series w/ WSU are out the window now...

anyhoo, I'd propose something with Cincy, for those unaware, they are refurbishing their arena and will be playing their home games at NKU next year. NKU seats a little unde 10k if I recall, UC averaged a little over 10k. Given the extra distance to travel, I'm guessing they'll lose some students per game, but overall they should be near capacity next year, before returning back to the Shoemaker Center, which holds around 13k IIRC.

anyhoo, I don't know the exact arrangement, but UD should propose a home & home, starting @ UC, but play the road game at US Barn arena (or whatever they call that dump these days). UC gets the extra gate knowing that UD fans will gobble up tickets in the larger venue, UD gets a return game the following season.

Another proposal, with WSU looking all be set to leave the MVC, perhaps start a home & home w/ whomever is going to be the top dog, start at UD this year, return game there next season (Northern Iowa is my guess) which could be a very good series for both schools.

Finally, I don't know if the Illinois & Northwestern games at the Bulls Arena is an annual thing or if that was just last season, but I'd look into playing Illinois in a similar 1 game, neutral site game that UD fans could easily drive to/from and get Josh back into his home town.
