Exhibition Games

Do we know the exhibition schedule? I don't see them on the season schedule. Aren't we going to play EA Sports or Latvia or something?

The new NCAA rule changes that prohibit college teams from playing the semi-pro teams like EA Sports means there aren't any exhibition games for anyone anymore. (I think it has something to do with the concern over the AAU influence in college sports, but I don't know the whole story and the exact change in the rules).

Marketing told me today that we would probably play a Mexican team on Nov 9, but they can't publicize it. Sounds like the end to EA Sports and other teams like that, and thats bad for them and for us.

DMN says we ARE playing an exhibition vs. Borders Africa All Stars in early Nov. at Moody. Here's a link:
