Only thing I would change is in the rare year like last year for instance. When there's a very good chance the team is going to be in the tournament. We're playing for seeding. Consider an extra neutral site game, series starting on the road or a one off road game in place of a buy game.
If a team can't be found so be it. I think the scheduling model is fine but some slight variance is justified if there's a team worthy of it. 2-3 less home games a decade.
Anything that can be done to get us out of the 7/10 and 8/9 games on the seed line.
look at a 2 for 1 if it would get us a good series

I appreciate this line of thinking. Last year UD played Northwestern--which we lost unfortunately. Win that game and most likely not stuck with Wichita State. I agree with the concept of considering 2-1 or even a buy game at a Duke or N. Carolina SOME years like last year where there is a high probability of NCAA. I get this isn't always possible because it takes two to tango. Also, what I have no visibility to, perhaps UD has tried some of these less conventional approaches but still getting no takers?
