You invited a 15/15 response from me.
Why have
Xavier, Butler, VCU, and Gonzaga all played a 15/15 schedule at least some of the time through the years? Xavier, in particular, does this practically every single year.
An additional nice 1 or 2 wins over 2 good p5 teams might be worth a 5 or 10 or 15 spot improvement in the rpi rankings.
So, for Archie's last 2 years, instead of having to play tough 10 seeds like Syracuse and Wichita State, we might instead get a 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 seed and play a weaker 14 or 13 or 12 or 11 seed, and thereby have a better chance of advancing past the round of 64.
It is hard to say that UD really cares about building a championship program/pursuing excellence/doing everything that they can do/being all that they can be, when they seem to place making money above all else.
If UD was really serious about excelling, then why have they never played a 15/15 schedule, when all of our peers, that we are trying to emulate, have done it several times, and continue to do it to this very day?
