Pepperdine (last year) and Gonzaga (this year) are traveling to Rice non-reciprocal without compensation. Of course, in both cases, they scheduled 7 - 10 days of games vs. Texas teams. Last year, in addition to a weekend series with Rice, Pepperdine played a weekend series at either A&M or TCU (I can't remember which), along with mid-week games against UH and Sam Houston State. My guess is that Gonzaga is doing the same this year.
