True, a double header situation helps both crowds and also gives the programs the ability to market around a whole day on campus. I always love double dips! Saves gas, and wear and tear on my vehicle. Unfortunately, those that do the scheduling rarely think about implications for the fans, they only think about security, clean-up, facilities concerns.

I don't appreciate lack of synergy with scheduling in athletics. BUT we're allowed to miss a preseason basketball exhibition IMO, while the idea of missing a playoff soccer match on campus, which does not necessarily happen every year, completely unfathomable. The conflict is one of priorities, IMO. Just because athletics is predestined to prioritize basketball (rightfully) doesn't mean we individually have to neglect soccer.
