November 8, 200718 yr I'm sure that RockPride can arbitrate a peaceful agreement between the two universities for a small fee. :D
November 8, 200718 yr I take exception to UL calling Duke (in football) a 'quality opponent'. An opponent from a BCS conference? Yes. A quality opponent? Not quite.
November 8, 200718 yr Is there really much difference in Duke and Indiana State?Yes, there is in these terms ... Duke is a I-A program (well, sort of) and Indiana State is I-AA. Teams can count a win over a I-AA team towards its six wins to compete in a bowl game only once in a four-year span, I believe. It's conceivable that the loss of a I-A opponent off the schedule could it make it tougher to get a bowl bid if Louisville has a couple more seasons like this one. And Duke cancelling at this late date just isn't a real classy move.

November 8, 200718 yr Louisville suing Duke after cancelling scheduled basketball games They need to update their headline.

November 8, 200718 yr Does a I-A team still get a once every four year waiver to allow them to count a win versus a I-AA team?That's what I was talking about.
November 8, 200718 yr Author Is there really much difference in Duke and Indiana State? D1 BCS vs. D1AA non-BCS ACC team vs. Missouri Valley (I think team) Yes there is.
November 8, 200718 yr That's what I was talking about. I only read the first and last sentence, I guess...:irked:
November 8, 200718 yr D1 BCS vs. D1AA non-BCS ACC team vs. Missouri Valley (I think team) Yes there is. Both teams stink. There is no difference other than counting D1 victories.
November 8, 200718 yr And in this age of college football that a huge difference. Oh, I agree with the bowl ramifcations.
November 8, 200718 yr ACC team vs. Missouri Valley (I think team)Actually, Indiana State's football team is in the Gateway Conference, which is sort of the football version of the Valley.
