We have one more year with a three-games-in-three-days tournament, away from Bucknell. What else do we know about next year's schedule?

Not positive as to when the series with SF and Cornell renew - but they seem to just keep going. Also think the Boston U and series ends this year - unless it is renewed.
Also I presume the Bison will have the customary two "buy" games with power-conference teams - plus whoever they play in the Gazelle Group event. BTW, looking at their website, it looks like the CBE event, which BU played in during the 2010-11 season, has disappeared and a new event with a different format ha emerged. Thus it is possible that BU might play in either one:
1. 2K Classic - four hosts are Purdue, Villanova, Alabama, and Oregon State. Same format as last two years, with an opener at one of the host schools followed by three subregional games such as the ones BU hosted this past season. This event is right at the start of the season. I think this is the more likely destination for BU.
2. Gotham Classic - three teams play games at both Syracuse and Temple. Then the three each play each other, with one game at home and one on the road. This event is in mid-December. I think this would be a great format.
2012-13 Attendance: 19 games and 8,354 miles driven.

I heard they're working on something in Texas and something in the Midwest.

For me, nothing beats the three-games-in-three-days format...particularly if it's in a cool city like Providence, but I also had a good time at James Madison.
On the other hand, I would like us to finally have a game against Temple.

I would love to see the Bison head my way, Jacksonville, FL. They could easily do a "cash" game against Florida and then play Jacksonville University and the University of North Florida from the Atlantic Sun. I can't remember the last time the Bison made it South but considering the abundance of teams now in the A-Sun as well as "cash" games with Florida State or even South Florida and Central Florida, they are welcome and I would be there!

I still can't believe we have never played at Seton Hall or at Rutgers (other than a scrimmage) in recent history. They get my vote!

I am in favor of any game in or near Philadelphia. 1. It is a great area for recruiting, and 2. It would be an excuse for me to fly home. I would love to see a game at The Cathedral of College Basketball (The Palestra).

Me too, especially since the last Bucknell game I saw there was a loss to Penn in December 2004. We fell behind HUGE early, prompting me to swap my vintage BUCKNELL VS SYRACUSE 1989 ECC Championship t-shirt for another Bucknell shirt I'd brought. (Penn's enormous early margin felt eerily Syracuse-esque.)
The rare, in-game wardrobe adjustment helped the Bison rally, but only enough to make the final score look somewhat respectable for the papers.
Of course, things were about to get a whole lot better for the Bison that season.

pretty sure both BingU and BostonU were 4 year contracts that were completed this year. no idea if either is being extended.

One bit of schedule news from the Awards Luncheon on Saturday. According to Coach P we are close to signing to play Penn State this coming season. One report is a 3 year deal with PSU coming to Sojka the second year ('13-14).

I'll believe it when I see it.

A three year commitment to play PSU would be great! The away games would be like home games. I think that Bucknell could get 2,000 fans to go to a game at Penn State this coming season.

But how many seats would be allocated? Not 2000. Sojka would be packed anyway.

If I had to throw a dart at a board, I would guess that 20% of 4,000 would be PSU fans. Eric, you can do the math. I stopped math at 1+1.

That would be 800.....only if the seats were allocated. I would see a big orange out
