And more mid-majors get screwed out of Big5 OOC games...

Iowa Hawkeyes cancelling future Hy-Vee Classic starring in-state schools.

"In our last agreement we added language that provided each institution an opportunity to opt out of the remainder of the contract if they reached 22 required games by the conference," said Gary Barta, University of Iowa Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics chair.
Ok, all contracts have opt-outs.

Several changes have occurred since the creation of The Hy-Vee Classic. Maryland and Rutgers were added to the Big Ten Conference, and the Missouri Valley Conference added Valparaiso and Loyola after the departure of Wichita State and Creighton. In addition to the Big Ten's announcement of a 20-game league schedule, the Gavitt Tipoff Games, featuring the Big Ten versus the Big East was also introduced in 2015.
I love how they attempt to push some of the problem onto the MVC. Big10 added 2 teams, and moved to 20 game schedule, while MVC only replaced the 2 schools they lost. But, somehow the MVC is related. Yes, I know, the sentence starts with "Several changes have occurred...", but the implication are that those changes affected things. The only thing that affected the Hy-Vee being cancelled is the Big10 going to 20 conference games, and the Big10/BE Gavitt Tipoff adding a game.

If only there was a way for the RPI to ignore home wins against cupcake opponents.
