My dealings with B-MO and a female who apparently works for him, have been nothing but positive. AND, I dealt with them at a very hectic time (when they were involved with the Fairborn, OH excursion.)

Since tickets may be hard to sell with the ban and we aren't playing for an at-large of any kind I don't see any reason not to stock up on buy games on the road.
We can make some money off of an almost pointless non-conference schedule and then work to win the Horizon League Regular season title.

If everybody stays it will toughen us up for the following year which could be a good one.

It will be much harder than you think to convince multiple high majors to pay us a lot of money to come to them this year. They want guaranteed easy wins in their buy games. They will look at us and see a tournament team with most of its players back.
I like the idea; I just don't think it will be easy to accomplish.

Well, let's hope those schools value the mid-level RPI.

The buyer can sell their fans on a game against a tournament team, and yet they only have to face a team that went 7-9 in a mid-major conference and lost 45% of it's scoring.

Wow talk about a schedule so far.
I'm impressed.
Why don't we schedule like this in years we can make the tournament?
You could build an at-large resume with a couple quality wins on a schedule like that. Hopefully it carries over into the following year when we're eligible again.
