What does this mean for the Flyers? I think we'll see fewer high quality opponents in exempt tourneys going forward. The fields in the future may be closer to the Charleston Classic this year with weaker opponents. 2/8 teams are from the Power 5 with Temple & Dayton as the only other opponents from multi-bid conferences For example, Iowa who was a big OOC win two years ago in the Orlando tourney. If they go to a 20 game big schedule. They play Iowa State every year and in the ACC/B10 challenge along with the Gavitt Games against the Big East every so often. There's gonna be a need to host a multi-team tourney to get their number of home games versus playing a neutral site event

I agree with what your saying, but The fact the NCAA allows you to "host" your own "exempt" tourney is ridiculous. This needs to change ASAP, or I fear our schedule will suck more in the future.
