Ever since news broke that the NCAA was limiting teams to 27 games this year if they participated in a multi-team event and 25 games if they did not, it has been clear that Xavier (and every other program in the nation, basically) was going to have to do some schedule shuffling to make that work. With just over a month to go until the season begins, some of the pieces have fallen into place for fans to get an idea of what the slate will look like for X.
Before we jump into this, I think it's important to keep in mind what the goal is with the schedule changes.
