Conference Only Matches

Rumor on the street is A10 volleyball is going Conference only matches this year. I wonder if they will keep the current rotation of two matches for some opponents and one match for others? Or go only one each..or go two each? To save money, will they double up matches? In OOC play, you many times play 3 matches in 2 days. If they play every team twice, will they go ahead and play 2 matches at one location? Say at 1 pm match and then a 7 pm second match between the two teams on a Thursday or Friday. Travel the next day and repeat with the second travel location. 4 matches in 3 days. You won’t get a home match against half your schedule, but you will save a bunch of money and right now that’s a big factor for athletic departments for non- revenue sports. Would also save on COVID testing.

Last year conference matches started Sept 27. About a month after OOC matches. My guess is conferences are waiting to get some direction from the NCAA as to if the tournament dates are changing. I expect everyone will go conference only this season.

I’ve also heard the NCAA is considering 4 regional sites with as little travel as possible for the first 4 rounds, so teams will probably play in-conference foes the first two rounds and I’m ok with that.

The biggest issue is the rpi will be a mess. I’m not sure what figgie is going to do.

I would also not be surprised if the A10 Championship goes to 4 teams, or gets cancelled and regular season champ gets the auto bid. That might be a Nov decision pending the virus.

For now I’m just grateful the team is back in Dayton and participating in player-led practices. It might all come crashing down, but there is hope a modified season can be played right now.

At this point, I'm expecting not to be able to attend matches at all this year. Probably have to give up money to ESPN+ if you want to watch any matches.

This article was from May, but I haven’t seen it posted and it does address fall sports from the A10 Commissioner.

I was thinking more how this affects figstat Volleyball rpi. It will be interesting to see how conference only matches play out and affect Rpi. I think we will see how great UD has been in OOC scheduling to maximize double bonuses. I would guess it’s also going to put us on par with P5 programs...and if we go undefeated, does that put us at the top of rpi?

And today the schedule-season watch continues. Last night UDVB’s twitter threw this wrench into the mix.

Will the team fly or be grounded this fall? Notice the word “status” in the url tag line above.

And the balls keep rolling down hill. Patriot League cancels fall sports. The next 2-4 weeks are going to be very interesting to see what other leagues follow suit.

The word "status" in the URL is just how Twitter works. If you look at all posts from UD Volleyball (or any other twitter user) they all have "status" in the URL.

This is just the beginning. No way can a school or conference promote team sports in the fall, both from a health or political standpoint. Florida deaths on the rise, no magic bullet down here.

Gonna be a long fall. Hate it, but I would guess the A10 didn’t want to bite off more than they could chew. I would guess they are going to monitor what happens to cases within their member institutions as students go back to campus. If campus’ can keep infections low, I think they will allow men’s b-ball. I also heard they are now looking at a possible vaccine by end of September. That’s 8-10 weeks away.

We are all pretty much on the vaccine-watch now. Vball moving to spring Is disappointing, but not a big deal. Moving men’s b-ball to a later start isn’t a big deal as long as they can get a season in. Not having a vaccine this year would be bad.

Up to 9 conferences. Here’s an update on all conferences. Sheffield’s comments about B10 is interesting. He’s saying move it to Spring. Obviously if the B10 goes, it all goes.

I've finally gotten around to running a 2019 regular season conference-only matches RPI, and it's probably not surprising. Dayton comes in at #9, with only 2 Big5 conference schools in the top 10 (Kentucky 4/Pittsburgh 5). VCU came in at #14, and 2 more Big5 schools came in tied at #19.
  • 1 - Western Kentucky (17-0)
  • 2 - New Mexico State (16-0)
  • 3 - Towson (18-0)
  • 4 - Kentucky (16-2)
  • 5 - Pittsburgh (18-0)
  • 6 - Stephen F. Austin (19-0)
  • 7 - Winthrop (16-0)
  • 8 - American (17-1)
  • 9 - Dayton (15-1)
  • 10 - Colorado State (18-0) (lowest undefeated team)

No conference had more than 3 teams in the top 50. 29 conferences represented. Horizon, MAC and SWAC not represented in the top 50. ACC (Pittsburgh) and PAC (Stanford) only had 1 school each in the top 50.

No way that would ever fly as accepted RPI values.
