Below, we provide a bit of an update on the 2009-2010 schedule. Above, a 1942 Cornell-Syracuse game program.A source confirmed for The Cornell Basketball Blog this week that while Cornell and Syracuse are expected to play during 2009-2010, no contract has been signed and the two schools have not yet agreed upon a date.
Ivy League teams are permitted to schedule 28 regular season games. Exempt tournaments count as only 1 game against the 28 total. Thus, last season Cornell played 26 games, plus the Preseason NIT (4 games). As an exempt tournament, the NIT provided Cornell with 30 total regular season games. The Big Red were actually permitted to schedule an additional "27th game," but opted not to do so.
Thus far for 2009-2010, we have published 22 known games for Cornell. They include the 14 Ivy League games in addition to the following 8 games:
Seton Hall (Home) Friday November 20, 2009
@South Dakota
@Kansas
St. Joseph's (Home)
@La Salle
@Boston University
Bryant (Home)
@Syracuse
In addition, Cornell will likely get 2 games in a holiday tournament (non-exempt) as well as between 2-4 games in an exempt tournament (probably 4 games). Both tournaments involve major venues with "high profile" programs. Both tournaments are tentative, but are expected to happen.
Finally, Cornell will likely play at least a pair of regional New York State rivals and could end up with a Division III opponent.
Assuming Cornell plays 4 games in an exempt tournament, the Big Red will likely have 31 regular season games next year.
