Email from HCDP this morning noting that we will be on the road playing Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Virginia this season. He also noted Harvard CCSU, Siena, Q-pac and Maine as OOC foes.
The latter bunch (and URI) don't surprise me, but I was unaware that we'd be facing off with the Badgers and Cavaliers

Thinking more about the 2024-25 OOC slate. Harvard - This is an absolute lock. Couldn't tell you the last time they weren't on the OOC schedule. Siena - played them each of the last six years (not including corona year). Guessing they're back in the mix. Maine - Likely owe them a return game. CCSU - I think we'll get a return game. Quinnipiac - Likely owe them a return game. Sacred Heart - Always a staple. They've been on every OOC schedule (with the exception of one) dating back to 2007-08. UMass - Bit of a guess here. Ran into Frank Martin at Logan a week or so ago, and he mentioned wanting to get something going with HC. He mentioned being friendly with HCDP. URI
Wisconsin
VirginiaI'd expect three buy-games, given that we had three last year (BC, St. John's, Georgetown). Could see the BC game turning into a semi-regular game. Here's what we know thus far (confirmed games in bold) ^ Four or five games left, one of which will likely be a D3 game. Still convinced SHU will be on the schedule.

This is the type of schedule many posters have been looking for! I think it is good for the young kids to play against strong teams in the OOC portion of the season. Some may play great, some may grow into being a better play and some may play themself onto the bench...Nothing wrong with this, the youngsters will grow up quickly, and learn how to handle playing against bigger faster players. ONE game vs a D-2 or D-3 school just to build confidence....

Hearing rumors of UConn and/or Providence. Hopefully UConn after Hurley leaves and every committed player bails. I think we can beat Karaban five on one.

Too bad as this will be the most talented group we have had in over a decade
Looking for both to be on the schedule in 25 or 26
Biggest question before us and the Administration will be the new requirement effective 7/1/2024
Some inside the school think it is an option. Lawyers around me violently disagree.
If we comply great, if we and or others in the PL decline does the league have a major issue with the NCAA
I am not a lawyer—What say the posters, especially the legal beagles.

That same X account is reporting this 'buy game' for URI - I'm posting it because I have to believe our game at URI is also a 'buy game' which will pay HC the same $75,000
'Rhode Island will host Central Connecticut State on Sunday December 15th as part of its 2024-25 non-conference schedule. This is a buy game with a $75,000 guarantee.'

Someone educate me on a buy game with a guarantee. Always thought a buy game was for an agreed set amount of money. Can the team getting compensated actually receive more under certain circumstances- like an increase in attendance over a set number or some other factor?

You should be able to get the URI contract since they are a public school to see if there is a clause in there for that. Doubt there is.

$605 per mile round trip. Not too Shabby. Crossports has been demanding upgraded CAA opponents like this. Maybe they could have gotten HC on the schedule for a gallon of coffee milk. Is there a contracted return game at Fitton where we give them back the mileage money? I hope so. If not, still an attractive regional game.

Throw snow tires on the Fox bus. Still an attractive A-10 opponent. Perhaps the $75K buys out a return game. That would be understandable as there is no comparison between turnout at the Ryan Center and the Hart.

URI appears to be paying out about $75-80k for buy games per two recent tweets confirming games $75k to CCSU and $78k to Lafayette. Leopards could conceivably be getting more for longer and most costly travel trip.
URI has a 2-1 with Yale with no money. Rhody gets a lot of students from CT with a lot of alums in the state as well. UConn will not play URI so a game in CT with Yale while getting two home games in return makes sense.
URI plays both PC and Brown annually on a rotating home and away basis. There is no money exchanged. the Friars and Bears are some of Rhody's most played opponents all time along with UMass and UConn.
