An article on Bleacher Report about the NFL’s 2015 schedule looks at the overall schedule structure and reports on research by Niraj Pandey and Kyle Cunningham of the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences to develop a system to create a fairer schedule. The article notes that the engineers examined NFL schedules from recent years and found a disparity among teams that played against opponents coming off a bye week or Thursday game. An article on Bayou Buzz about the schedule quotes Murat Kurt, assistant professor of industrial systems and engineering, who served as a co-advisor on the project. Articles also appeared on WGR 550 and ESPN.
