[NU Sports] Non-Conference games during October & November

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

I despise having non-conference games in the middle of the schedule.

For me the football and basketball schedule should have a pre-
conference portion and a conference portion.  This is long-standing 
Big Ten tradition and a good one at that.  The EMU game this year is 
odious.

And we know Notre Dame likes playing a wannabe Big Ten
schedule, so opening up our league slate allows for
some flexibility to not just cram the ND games in
September, but maybe break up their rut of dull
service academy games in between the Big Ten September
and USC with a couple more Big Ten clashes. PSU-ND in
November was much more fun than PSU-ND in September!
