The only way this will happen is a two year contract. It's not fair to expect these teams to travel one way down the Mountain Parkway and the EKY team not return the favor. It's just as far from Louisville to EKY as it is from EKY to Louisville. Their fans would rather schedule games they can actually attend, just like ours would. If we expect these teams to come out and see us, we're gonna have to pack up and go back down to see them. He's right: the open dates are definitely on the schedule. I'm pretty sure no coaches in EKY are calling up Bob and Dale and laying down the gauntlet. The way the PCB got big name teams was to make it worth their time - i.e., lay out some cash. That would be the OTHER way to do it and get a one-year contract. Keep in mind, there aren't many mountain teams in the first place that could compete with PRP - which is a middle of the pack public school in Louisville - much less Lexington Catholic, Central, St. X, etc. As far as Highlands and Trinity...zero.
