Doesn’t make sense at all to say its difficult to schedule the games. Sounds like its difficult to follow through with the difficult games that have been scheduled.

Will:
Sometimes the contracts are held up. Sometimes they aren’t. And as Martin says, sometimes it has nothing to do with your school’s desire to play. Like when a school calls and says, “Thanks but no thanks”, there’s not a lot you can do.
Also, I think it’s important to remember that OU hasn’t been without its own scheduling scramble. The Sooners are playing Florida A&M because they, like the Cowboys, found themselves without the number of non-conference games they needed due to conference realignment. That hit just about everyone’s non-conference schedule.
