It's worth thinking about

You are gaining 2, not 1, non-buy games. The idea is to drop 2 buy games in exchange for 2 home and home series, one of those games would be at home and the other away. Adding those 2 non-buy games could maybe be worth as much as a 15 maybe 20? spot improvement in the rpi rankings. In addition, we get 1, maybe 2, quadrant 1 games, an additional opportunity for a quality road win, an improved sos, and 2 more marquee games ever year. We could gain maybe 3-5 spots on the seed, like going from a 7 to maybe at most a 2.
Everybody cries on here all the time about UD not being able to afford to do this, but yet here we are doing a renovation that is in the tens of millions of dollars. IMO, it does not all add up.
