For those who are parents, does this line sound familiar: "Would you jump off the bridge just because Johnny did it?"

They discussed this on the radio. They talked about having a D1 program where we are supposed to win big but only win by 3-4 and how it would hurt us come selection sunday as far as NET. Whereas a mid OOC game against a DII would allow us to work on things, try out new things, get guys some run and a win or loss by small or large margin wouldn't have an impact on selection sunday and it would give us a chance to rework things we may need to work on.
That was their reasoning for playing a DII vs a weaker DI.

And it's not like we played a bunch of super weak opponents before the stronger ones, like a certain Dan Hurley-coached team just did.

well if that is the case why did we play all the other weak D1 teams in the OOC.

And of course, scheduling a quality D1 opponent is off the table?

So does that theory not apply to the other six weaker D1 teams on our home schedule too?
