Good read about scheduling for Winthrop and why they play so many non-D1 schools. Worth a read if you're into this stuff and there's plenty of Mark Adams

Some highlights

Winthrop paid four of those five teams, handing out $40,000 to Maryland-Eastern Shore, and a combined $9,500 to Pfeiffer, Warren Wilson and Hiwassee.

Most low/mid-majors annually schedule a handful of buy games to help the school’s finances. Dates at Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Davidson and Florida State netted Winthrop four buy game paychecks this season. The Seminoles are paying Winthrop $95,000 to come to Tallahassee and play on Jan. 1, while even Davidson paid the Eagles $85,000 to make the short trek up Interstate 77 for a Dec. 4 non-conference game.

Power 5 teams played 88 percent of their non-conference games in 2017-18 at home or on a neutral court.

The top leagues are increasing the number of conference games they play, to 20 in several cases, which decreases the number of non-conference games, and, accordingly, buy game opportunities for low/mid-major schools

That St. Josephs Indiana game had to have been a nice money maker for UD if the money for non D1 schools is that low
