1. Brooklyn is not cheap. Adding a day adds dollars. Early season tournaments (i.e. Orlando) do it to grab tourist dollars. I get that.
2. Friday off only really aids teams who upset 1-4. When 1-4 all win, what is the benefit? UD has a short bench right now. Oh well, deal with it.
3. No one attends the games on day 1 outside of family members and school kids that get bussed in for a field trip. The games are on ESPN+. I don't see any media benefit. Nobody will be talking about and analyzing those games on TV or radio.
On top of those issues, the LGA-DAY return flights are terrible. There's no longer a Sunday evening non-stop. I think best is a connection in Chicago and landing in Dayton near midnight. In the past, we could watch the selection show in LGA and board a plane.

I would rather spend a weekend in jail than fly into LGA
