The football powerhouse conference is instituting an RPI minimum for non-conference basketball games, so how will this compare to the games that the Golden Eagles play?
Earlier this week, news drifted out of the Southeastern Conference's basketball spring meetings that the football powerhouse conference had adopted a rule about how their teams were required to schedule non-conference opponents.
To put it simply, a potential opponent has to have a three year RPI average of better than 150 in order to be scheduled.
This is a clear continuation to the football powerhouse conference attempting to get more teams into the NCAA tournament than the three teams they got this past March.
