ISUBU said:My guess is that they all were looking for the same thing...a home game to balance the schedule. And when they couldn't find a Division 1 team to travel, they looked at D2 and NAIA. If everyone insists on a home game, then you can't match up these programs.
We think we have it bad paying St. X to drive to Normal. Sac State is paying University of St. Francis (Joliet) to come to California for a game.
Great post :text-+1: . And this is exactly what I think happened with ISU. We refused to budge on giving up that 6th home game for either overpaying for another D1 or hitting the road for a D1. I know there was opportunity for other D1 games. But ISU would have had to buyout st. Xavier in the process. Not ISU's finest job here. Really hope it doesn't cost the Redbirds a play-off spot. St. Xavier game is just dumb.
