I like the idea of playing schools out west, and wouldn't mind adding another like USC or ASU, and UNLV on a regular basis so we always have at least one game out west.

A lot of kids like Howard at Findlay Prep makes trying to get UNLV on the schedule pretty inviting for a lot of teams.
Not a bad road trip for fans either.
I too like to see more games scheduled on the West Coast even though I no longer lived there. I remember, during the 15 years I lived in San Diego, haing the opportunity to see Marquette play vs. Loyola Marymonut (Los Angles), USF (San Francisco) and UNLV. As I stated, in another thread, I think it would be a good idea if the Big East and West Coanference worked out an arrangment similar to the one the Big East has with the Big 10 and/or SEC. The schools in the WCC are similar to the Big East in that they are all private, predominantly Catholic (exceptions are BYU (obviously), Pepperdine and Pacific) and while they have some weak teams (like University of San Diego) those games would still be more productive than Grambling or Maine.

Personally, I would love to see them schedule a home and home down this way with Georgia, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest or South Carolina. Hell why not add Georgia State; even if you have to give them a return game it give you a chance to gain exposure in a major high school basketball hotbed (Atlanta).
