Given the new realities of post RPI measurement, I think UD is going to have to break the scheduling mold. I wouldn't be in favor of 2 away, 1 home, and 1 neutral but I would consider a straight 2 for 1 deal. Pair it up with a team like Murray St. for a 2 home 1 away we did with them a few years ago.

This gives us two quality games every year (1 home, 1 away) and bite the bullet by dropping two buy games. Couple this with the traditional two h/h's we get from teams from the SEC or strong mid majors and a solid in season tourney and there is enough meat there to get an at large bid if the W's are there.

I know I'm sounding like UD2 and opening up a can of worms that is digested about this time every year but the landscape is changing (20 game conf schedule and new "metrics") and there ain't nothing a program like UD can do about it--adapt or die.

Yes, UD will get one less gate. Make it up by NCAA tourney $, TV $, raise per game prices a few $'s and or tighten the belt on other program's spending.
