Why did season start early?

Post by EasternDspy »

The season doesn’t normally start until the week after Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in November. The latest possible Thanksgiving is always when November 1st falls on a Friday (because there are five Fridays, but only four Thursdays - which always makes T-day the 28th). The earliest Thanksgiving is November 22nd, any time November 1st falls on a Thursday.

So the season didn’t extend, it is just that Thanksgiving fell after the normal start date this year.

Many schools don’t schedule till December 6-7 cause they all think they’re going to the football playoffs. Basketball is a minor sport at many schools. AD s all think they’re at big time football schools

Fort Frye first game isn’t until next Tuesday. That being said it’s still a basketball school.

Sure. But way too many schedule cause they think they’re going into the 3rd week of the playoffs. That’s a pipe dream for many. Schedule the 1st game at end of November and adjust accordingly. Wow. It’s not the power 5 college conferences
