Full disclosure, this may have been how we landed Indiana state. Can we offer our football program as a sort of… Sacrificial lamb… To get a basketball team on our home schedule? I’m thinking about teams like Villanova, Middle Tennessee, basically any non-Mac And especially one AA teams. Why do we play Duquesne every year? Can we get rid of that game and play at a Villanova or even Yukon since they are so bad, if that means we get them to the arena?

Teams like Western Kentucky, Southern Illinois and others have used their football teams as bargaining chip

The issue for UD I think is that outside Villanova the FCS (1AA) schools aren't great at basketball.

Definitely an idea worth considering but scanning over the FCS conferences I don't see many consistently good basketball programs

I've seen ESPN and others mention the success of VCU, Gonzaga, Xavier, etc is that they don't have scholarship football
