SIU-E and SC St were both part of an exempt tourney, not 'buy' games

Wyoming was a home and home contract with another mid-major, similar to Ohio this year or UW-Milwaukee. It also happened to be rolled into the MWC-MVC Challenge.

The D-III games are buy games that don't hurt our RPI at all and are almost always scheduled during winter break when students are gone (even though their schedules are way too busy to come to games during the 1st semester anyways) and provide at least some local interest to bring in a small number of fans from the visitors.

Next?

Northern Illinois in 09-10 might be the only home buy game, non-D-II we have done recently. Not sure, don't think they were a BracketBuster but could have been

Re: Barta sez decision on in-state basketball games could come soon

I see Iowa already added Coppin State to their schedule next year. Thankfully for them, they had some extra "flexibility" to add such a great game.

I do believe that there are some players from Iowa on Coppin State's roster if I'm not mistaken. Maybe they wanted to play Iowa, to get their players back closer to home for a game?
I know UNC did that with Evansville a few years back, some teams do reach out to certain schools to try and get their athletes games close to their hometowns and what not.

But I doubt that's the case in this situation because its Iowa, Fran is just loading up the schedule with cupcakes again.

The D-IIIs are scheduled at a point when we are looking to bring other fans in since students/regulars may be gone. Otherwise we are doing home and homes or occasionally 2 for 1s with transitional teams (such as North Dakota and SDSU).

The Chicken Hawks only buys and won't do home and home. They wouldn't even do the Iowa State game if they didn't think the legislature would howl about it, its the only reason they play in football.

Yeah, Coppin State schedules with the same philosophy as North Carolina.

i normally like debating these topics but i am not going to bother in this case.

Ok, I have made a decision to drink cheaper beer (PBR instead of Sierra Nevada or Bells) and I will try to use the extra money to send to PSC. Everyone happy?

so when the citadel came to Iowa City a few years back coached by a former Davenport Assumption alum, it was just pure luck that they got that game???

As much as you want to believe, the Citadel called Iowa and asked for that game for a reason. Yeah they want to travel all the way to Iowa City for a non-conf game, when they can play the likes of the SEC schools in their back yard?? There are teams outside of the North Carolinas and Dukes that do this too.

It was probably because the coach had seen the Hawks play first hand and knew he had a much better chance at whipping them than those SEC teams
