I'm guessing that due to the easy schedule, they will have a pretty good record that might put them in a much better pod.
Personally, I think the schedule is probably a positive for them this season. They probably aren't good enough to worry about quality wins but could possibly slip in to NIT or something with a decent record. But from a fan's point of view, I would hate it. They will lose the tv exposure they're probably used to and will deep down inside know that they are winning due to an easier schedule. Also has to be hard to swallow when the A10 messes with your rivalries. Dayton and VCU were mainstay, twice a season rivalries for them and it has to hurt that's being taken away for at least one season.
In the long run, I expect that RI will rise in the pecking order and get back to where they once belonged in short order. But this season's schedule has to suck as a fan.
