    Why is there no line on Cleveland State/Robert Morris tonight?

    Hate when I see games you would think have a line and doesn't, some games like that last night.

    There's no reason for this game not to be on the board.

    Two solid mid-majors.

    That leads to my question. Newbie here - what determines which games have lines? I hate when there is a slate of say 50 games and 25 have lines. What do they base it on?

    Whether they have a decent enough read on a team is one reason, like very, very small schools, even if they are posing someone like Kansas, there won't be a line, also because the public isn't familiar with say a Tabor University.

    Lafeyette beat Penn State last night on the road, High Point only lost by 4 to Wake Forest on the road, the books would have cleaned up on a Penn State backers last night no doubt. Also Ohio beat Oakland last night on the road, still no line.

    You guys don't pay much attention during the seasons. Games involving a Northeast conference team are never lined unless it is an early season tournament or the game ends up broadcasted on something like ESPNU

    What homer said, Robert Morris is not a lined team. They had some earlier games lined because those were tournament games.

    Because Northeast Conference is a non-lined league

    Again, wonder what the reason is for this.

    Oh THAT I wouldn't know. Maybe small leagues without TV deals are easier to "manipulate"? Notice that the Ohio Valley Conference and the Southern Conference both went from non-lined to Added Games status when they started televising some games, just like the Sun Belt in football.
