Big East rescheduling details

Feels like this deserves a separate thread. Details of rescheduling games which will be totally done by the league office. FOX will be involved and arena availability will not be a priority.

► The conference has full authority to reschedule, which is a change from last season, when schools took the lead while working with the league.

► Teams cannot play three games in a week in back-to-back weeks. If there is a three-game week, the following week maxes out at two games.

► Teams cannot play games on back-to-back days.

This statement sort of adds fuel to the conspiracy theorists on how games got rescheduled last year or which games didn't get made up:

Giving the conference full authority to reschedule was important after the 2020-21 experience, when gamesmanship played a role in determining which postponed contests eventually got played. That doesn’t mean the jigsaw puzzle gets easier, though.

Good catch. I really like Jay Wright and it cannot be understated what he has meant to the league, but this is clearly pointed at him.
