The non-conference schedule looks good to me except for the two D3 games. No quotes from Bart in the initial press release. This would be the first season he has not apologized for the non-conference schedule.

Does anyone on here have a clear understanding of why we MUST have 3 games at the KC? Who determines this and why? Facts only please, not looking for speculation.

Who determines this and why? Facts only please, not looking for speculation. I can't give a factual answer that is 100%, but my response is not speculation. The answer is money. It's to save on rent cost at playing UWM Panther Arena. Going by the three season in a row which includes this upcoming season the max number is 12 games at UWMPA. In 2022-23, 5 games were at the KC.

I wish that we could get a virtual meeting or seminar on how schedules are made. This isn't terrible, but there are certain to be those who are disappointed in 1, only one high-major foe; 2, two non-D1 opponents; and 3, three games at the K. We've had worse, but we've also had better.

I don't mind a non-DI non-conference game to start out the season in order to work out some substitution patterns and some offensive and defensive sets, but to have another one mid-season after you've already had two conference games seems really odd to me.

It would be great to get some transparency.

I think after the picnic they seem pretty open about the schedule.
Three buy games. UNI, UCF, Duquesne.
Lundy wants a 6/5 or like this year a 5-5-1 model with the 1 also played in Milwaukee for non-conference. He doesn't want a Oakland style schedule.

They didn't want a two week gap between games with Christmas break in the gap as well. That's the reason for the game on Dec. 22.

St. Francis (NAIA), St. Mary's (D-3), Aurora (D-3). 60% of UIC's home schedule is non-D1.
Poor Flames! They barely can find a D-1 opponent to play at their place!!

6 o'clock on a Wednesday?! I'm surprised they're not giving folks there a chance to loosen up with an 8 o'clock start!
