Not good for those of us who live out-of-town. I'd have to take two days off work. Horrible for school age kids on a school night (homework, activities, bedtimes). Bad idea, Pat Kraft. What was he thinking?
Does anyone think that having the BJC match on a Monday night makes any sense?

- Start date
Pretty sure it had to do with THON and then how late the schedule came out leaving no other weekend open that had home dual meets.

As someone who organized his (Fortune 50) company's efforts there for 10+ years: the career fair is extremely cramped at BJC. That's with employer booths throughout a bigger arena floor, a full concourse, and a bigger auxiliary gym; and with a fully accessible loading dock.
Rec Hall cannot accommodate 150+ companies plus 3000 students-- and where are the employers going to eat, at Waring?
So if you really want to have it there, then you need to significantly cut the number of employers ... which kinda undercuts the university's reason for existing.
it was. The link I provided above is to the discussion that took place after the preseason PSU media availability day. We also discussed it when the schedule was first released.
Here is a link to the original thread... or maybe this was the second
