You're telling me just because they add one more road game to their schedule in 20-game league format the importance of a series like Dayton would diminish for these schools?

I don't think it is as much that Hawkoo as it is the number of eligible road games. When these conferences move to 20 games, most will maintain the same number of buy games--just like UD did when the A10 went to 18 games. The buy games keep the lights on.
