How much does
SLU average in attendance? I thought similar to UD, they would have the finances/support to get better home "garuntee" games. Could be other factors involved like another team pulling out at the last moment, or perhaps there is some coaching/athletic ties to drove the bus on this.
Under the RPI, playing an NAIA program was better than playing a 300+ program; I'm not sure if that is still the case with the new metrics.
