• Non-Conference Scheduling
  ESPN.com: The philosophy for nonconference scheduling is complicated

  The move toward this new philosophy on nonconference scheduling is complicated.

  Missouri coach Frank Haith said he's talked to Arizona's Sean Miller about a future matchup between the two schools. Arizona and Missouri could establish an enticing Pac 12-SEC rivalry. But they probably will play those games on neutral sites, Haith said.

  Haith understands the concerns of fans who want more good home games during the nonconference season. It's not, however, that simple to produce them, he said.

  "You're not going to get those teams to come to Missouri or wherever to play," he said. "You can't just play all buy games at your place, and you're not going to get a lot of those teams to do a home-and-home at your place. That's what the game has gotten to."
