              That one was RIT's fault, too.

                  Any attempt to break up the Potsdam-Plattsburgh partnership creates an untenable weekend for the rest of the conference. In the situation that you outline, every team in the SUNYAC besides Oswego and Plattsburgh would have to make a 4+ hour trip overnight between the two most historically successful teams in the conference. Canton is closer to Potsdam, but Potsdam is the only school that can be paired with Plattsburgh to create a manageable weekend in a 10-team conference.

                    Also.. TES distance from Potsdam to Plattsburgh 92 miles. TES distance from Canton to Oswego 116 miles and at least some of the Oswego- Canton distance is interstate. Saints17 scenario makes the most sense.

                      Saints17's scenario was what Emery told Ducky on BTB a while back that the coaches had already decided on. But it's possible he misspoke or they will have changed their minds.

                      Who does either scenario hurt the most? IMO, Cortland. How many upset wins/ties did they get against a team who was looking ahead to the Oswego game the next night? They wouldn't have that luxury anymore

                        Looking at their records over the last 10 years, your answer would seem to be, not many.

                          It makes no sense to have two schools 17 miles apart not being travel partners. That would be like making St. Lawrence and Dartmouth travel partners and Clarkson and Harvard travel partners in the ECAC D1 league because ...

                          Look, a four hour bus trip is not that big a deal, but if you must, have games on Friday night and Sunday afternoon for that pairing when they are at home.

                            My proposal: a 4-hour slog and a stone's throw even out into a pair of 2-hour (if that) trips

                            Your DI proposal: a two-hour trip and a stone's throw become a 6.5-hour slog and a 4.5-hour slog

                            Your analogy isn't even close (rimshot), and if you fail to discern the distinction then I can't help you. Do you honestly believe that doubling the current longest trip between travel partners (and setting no less than Plattsburgh and Oswego at either end) to accommodate a brand-new member is in the best interests of the conference as a whole? If four hours on a bus is the easiest time you ever did, then driving two hours on separate weekends might as well be a Caribbean getaway.

                              One other thing regarding Canton and Oswego being travel partners is Watertown is almost the halfway point between the two schools. Play at Canton on Friday night, bus to Watertown to stay the night and then make the trip to Oswego the next day or vice versa. Its not that big of a deal. Buffalo St to Fredonia seemed like the longest bus ride of my life, so Canton to Oswego is not a big deal.

                                Most SUNYAC travel partners are under and hour with current Plattsburgh/Potsdam being 1.75, and extra 30 minutes for Canton to Oswego is pocket change with Watertown being a very good option. Just for Fredonia/Buff States sake I hope the SUNYAC scheduler doesn't put them on the North Country A and North Country B trip back-to-back
