Many times will also schedule these game before their big OOC games, after an tourney like Charleston, around exams and before the start of conference play. These are built in games that help get the team ready for conference play, put W's on the board, and help get minutes and develop the bench.

As for as your last sentence, that is asinine. No school is going to want to willingly lose money because they can afford to not have as many home games. OSU has certain amount of home games they need to balance out parts of their budget as well. Just because the football team makes money, doesn't mean the basketball team can dip into their profits. They are expected to pull their own weight and help make money as well. They have their formula to follow to get into the NCAA tournament, just like UD has their formula they follow.
So OSU needs eight buy games??? That is asinine. I guess they are all scheduled at strategic times.
