Power-5 schools dont want to be on the hook for three seasons against a non Power-5 school -- any school, but let alone one like Dayton, St. Marys, Wichita State, URI, VCU, etc. They simply don't need that much help.


You are overestimating the importance of Power-5 non-conference seasons to consider they need Dayton on their schedules for 3 years. They dont even need Dayton on the schedule for 2. Thats the problem. They can go fishing for far cheaper and less competitive non-cons every year from the MEAC and NEC to fill those slots -- and never have to give up a road game to boot. These schools want a Power-5 road game when they want one. No matter what UD offers, they cannot dangle that carrot and for 90% of these institutions thats the only carrot that matters.


Andy Kennedy was a habitual exception in college scheduling.
I've been beating the drum in the schedule theory and 20 game schedule threads about this

No disagreement with you there but there are some openings out there
