Article states the mid-major event will be in the round robin format, which I believe means we play Yale, Delaware, and Vermont. For some reason, I doubt that’s going to happen unless the third set of games takes place away from Mohegan Sun at two of the schools’ home courts.

I'm re-upping this thread for Nashville and ctbobs. The article states that Fairfield, Yale, Vermont and Delaware will play in a round-robin format, probably two at Mohegan Sun and one at an on-campus site.
The dates for the high major tournament at Mohegan Sun are set. The weekend before Thanksgiving. Don’t know if our games will be on the same dates but since Vermont and Delaware are public institutions, either Rocco Miller or the D1 Docket should have that information soon via FOI requests.

Home vs. FDU vs. Drexel (Dragons still owe us a home game) vs. D3
Road @ Le Moyne
Neutral (at Mohegan Sun) vs. Yale vs. Vermont
-- If Mohegan Sun tourney is a round robin as previously mentioned, Fairfield would play Delaware home or away. -- A poster on the Central Connecticut message board writes that Fairfield and CCSU are looking to schedule a non-conference game. -- The Wagner, New Hampshire and Yale series all ended last season, and the Sacred Heart home game will be absorbed into the MAAC schedule. -- Likely at least two buy games vs. P5/Big East/A10 teams.

So we’re playing Friday night and Sunday of the weekend before Thanksgiving. Apparently, the initial round robin comments about this MTE were incorrect.

Interesting idea. The Atlantic Sun and Southern Conference agreed to schedule two games for each school during the upcoming season. It's a good way to alleviate non-conference scheduling difficulties, and it likely means a number of competitive games as well.

^^^Last season Pomeroy had the Southern as the 12th best conference and the ASUN as the 26th rated conference, so this scheduling alliance isn’t like the ACC- Big Ten games or Big East- Big12 games where the conferences are close to one another in perceived strength. It’ll be interesting to see if the MAAC enters a scheduling alliance with another conference.
