Will start in 2019. Prepare for KU vs Nova, Butler, Xavier or Creighton. Maybe Marquette..

They won't play Seton Hall, St. Johns, DePaul, Providence or anyone else on the bottom tier.

Are we doing away with the Big12/SEC, or is this in addition to it?

I like it, I like these inter-conference matchups, I hope the game is played sometime in December instead of during conference play, but it's a good thing.

Why do you feel we won't play anyone from the bottom tier and why do you feel Butler, Marquette, and/or Creighton will be upper tier? FWIW (which is very little) if I am not mistaken, Butler and Marquette were not upper tier last season.
We play Nova next season - is that in Lawrence, Villanova, KC, or Philly?
If we don't play the "challenge" game in Lawrence or KC I could see us playing a Big Least opponent in Chicago, New York (MSG or Barclays), or DC. Why not?

I think that will continue.

This is going to be pretty easy scheduling wise... It'll probably be in the Non-Con and they have 10 teams, we have 10 teams.

I was kinda disappointed to find out that our Big East opponent next year was the already scheduled Villanova game. Woulda been cool to have a game with Xavier or Butler or someone in addition. Now that it swallows up a game we already had scheduled the challenge feels like a letdown.
