Would you schedule this series?
Ohio State's AD offers Dayton:
2 games at Value City Arena in Columbus
1 game at UD Arena
1 game at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland (Home of the Cavs)

Yes. That's better than our Louisville deal was awhile back that didn't have any games at UD Arena.

Yes
or change one of the Value City Arena games or the Quicken Loans game to Nationwide Arena so the Buckeyes can say it is a neutral court game.

No, I do not like the 4th game being played in Cleveland. I do not think either school would want the 4th game makes no sense for either school especially in Cleveland.
2 for 1 makes the most sense
1 At Value City, 1 at UD and 1 at Nationwide would work too.

Supposedly Ohio State is looking for a neutral site game in Cleveland for a recruit they have coming in from Cleveland and some of the guys they're targeting in the upcoming classes

I am surprised they would feel the need to do that considering it is only an 1.5-2 hour drive down to Columbus. Normally when teams look for games like that for recruits it is out of state.

I never thought OSU would want to do another series with UD because the only other time they did, years ago, we beat them 2 out of 3. 1st game at OSU, they won. 2nd game at UD, we won. 3rd game back at OSU, we won again! They beat us in Buffalo in an NCAA tournament game and then then we beat them in the first NCAA game in our Elite 8 season. Do they really want to chance it again?
Even though UD is not considered a "higher tier" program, the Flyers have a habit of beating those teams, which makes it hard to schedule them again.

Ohio State beat UD in the NIT at the Schottenstein back in March 2008. The Buffalo NCAA game was the Elite 8 season.

We beat them 2 out of 4 from 85-86 through 88-89. Fourth game at UD, they beat us 104-76.

OSU series:
FWIW, IINM, URI recently got home-and-home series with Harvard, MTSU, WKU, and Charleston. Some of those teams might be hit-and-miss. I think that all 4 of those teams would schedule a h-and-h with us, so if we are looking for some additional h-and-h opponents, then give those schools a call.
Judging from past schedules, I also think that these schools would play us in a h-and-h: Temple, Boise State, Belmont, Murray State, Old Dominion, Illinois State, Valpo, New Mexico, Tulsa, and BYU. Again, some might be hit-and-miss.

Read it on the internet.
I highly, highly doubt that even if true the UD admin said "no, we've got Coppin State penciled on that date already."

This probably is true given we just signed up for the game at the United Center against Colorado.
I think I see the scheduling philosophy is shifting ever so slightly.. Along with the Nov pre season tournament, one neutral site game, one game in A10/Mountain West challenge and HOPEFULLY one additional H/H series.

YES, YES, YES, YEAH ABSOLUTELY!!!
It's such an obvious yes, I'm not sure it counts as a question...Cleveland or no Cleveland! However, it would be down right foolish to pass on a fourth game with one of the schools you are always wanting to schedule. Although, it would good of one of the Schott games were moved to Nationwide.
I asked in another thread if UD would accept a two year round Robin at Mutual site with OSU if the Flyers had to play Wright State the first year, but got Ohio state the second year. And folks are afraid to answer, or bring themselves to go there. But if Ohio state offers that, UD better darn well take it.

What would UD, OSU, and whoever is putting on said event gain from inviting WSU and their traveling group of 38 fans?

My question was: Would UD agree to it?
Furthermore, who in the world hopes the opponent brings more fans, to an event that will virtually sellout anyway?
As for your question, why in the hell would THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY waste it's time scheduling a game against upstart dayton??!!!

Ohio State. Ohio State hopes the opponent brings fans. That way the stands won't be empty. That includes a game played in Columbus, Cleveland, anywhere tOSU is playing a non-top-5 school.

You meant TOSU.
If The Ohio State University is playing in a double header with the Dayton Flyers also in same double header, them my presumption is that the game is sold-out; and therefore Ohio state wouldnt need or want more Wright State fans.
Obviously, I could easily keep pushing the point about UD'S neurotic need to avoid Wright State at all cost; but the greater point was to what length of far-out point would the administration go to avoid a WSU match-up. Would it be to the point of missing out on an othherwise great opportunity??? Unfortunately, I think that's the case.
Inaccurate try Gazoo, because The Ohio State University might want some extra money, they sure as heck don't need it; and thus it would be much more about a homecourt advantage for them, regardless of who else was playing. When you draw 105,000 to the stadium every week, you've got it going on in real big time athletics. That's not exactly Fordham or LaSalle style.
Like I said, if UD ever gets the chance to play Ohio state, xavier, or UC, again in regular season, and the deal comes with a game against Miami or Wright State, they better take that deal and get over their Atlantic 10 selves.

Just general comments.
1. For the anniversary of flight, we played North Carolina at there facility. I thought there was an agreement that they were to give us a return game at U.D. Arena, Never happened.
2. We had Kentucky down in Cincinnati. I thought I remembered that we were the home team, got maybe 20% of the tickets. The Flyer Fans out cheered their team and got a nice victory. The look on the Kentucky fans faces...priceless.
3. Dayton has done fairly well against the so called power 5 conferences.
4. Top schools just won't come to the arena. Be afraid. Be very afraid
5. Would love to see an inner state holiday tournament.

Archie coached at Western Kentucky, North Carolina State, Ohio State, Arizona State and Arizona and he never got Dayton fans any games with those schools. So, why think that he would get the Dayton fans an Indiana game?
But, of course, you know he loves us Dayton fans. That is why he betrayed us at his first opportunity and was looking to leave to jump up to a bigger school for several years prior to his eventual escape.
Do I have hard feelings? Dayton loved him and did everything we could for him and he still left.

While I understand your sentiment, the comparison is not exactly the same.
It should be more like, changing jobs, where they attempted to match the salary, the job environment was friendly, inviting, and you had everyone eating from the palm of your hands. You wanted for nothing, and everything you needed was given. The grass was always green and was maintained perfectly.
So, when Buckleyma left McDonald's to work at UD during his college years, then went to his first job out of college who didn't appreciate them, underpaid them, and they found a job that would appreciate them and pay them more, that's not the same as Archie.
In my career, I've lost my job because of contract loss twice, and left the other 2 on my own accord, 1 where I wasn't being paid my worth, and the other where the environment was becoming toxic. So, my career path cannot be compared the belief of what Archie did to Dayton fans.
As for Archie, except for Ohio State the same year, if he hadn't taken the Indiana job, I presume he would have been at Dayton for at least 4-6 years until another blue-blood type program opened. I'm not sure any jobs this year he would have taken. I certainly don't blame him for taking the job, but he could have been King (sorry rollo) in Dayton if he stayed and kept the trajectory going for the basketball team.

Figgie123: My reference was that we want the Dayton head coaching job to be a destination job not where a coach steps on our head on the way out after a couple years. The biggest disappointment was that Archie did not groom adequately one of his assistant coaches for the job so the transition was not so severe. We lost last year to transition and maybe this year to a re-build.
By the way, McDonalds wouldn’t hire me during college. So, I worked at the donut shop during college and then got a construction worker job during the summer.

Let’s see, so two of the games would be about a mile and a half from where I live? Appso****lutely! Ohio State average is about 12,000 for their nonconference schedule. The shot seats 19. And that’s probably paid attendance by the way, tickets would be a plenty. Even if the team gets good, which I expect they will, that doesn’t matter until after the college football playoff is over. Now, what I could see Ohio State do, is get cute and move the game to St. John Arena which seats about as many people as ours. That would satisfy the number of people from Ohio State wanting to go while limiting our fans from getting in. They typically play one game a year over there.

Given the perceived difficulties that UD and other non P5 schools will have in scheduling non conference games in the future, does it make sense for UD to offer 2 for 1 games? Since we travel well, these games might be a bit more like neutral games than full away games. Could be an additional recruiting tool as well. Thoughts?

This series is pretty slanted towards Ohio State. 2 games at home for them and a neutral court that'll favor them
Davidson plays series like this without the home game but 2 and neutral, home and neutral with schools like North Carolina and Wake Forest

Given the new realities of post RPI measurement, I think UD is going to have to break the scheduling mold. I wouldn't be in favor of 2 away, 1 home, and 1 neutral but I would consider a straight 2 for 1 deal. Pair it up with a team like Murray St. for a 2 home 1 away we did with them a few years ago.
This gives us two quality games every year (1 home, 1 away) and bite the bullet by dropping two buy games. Couple this with the traditional two h/h's we get from teams from the SEC or strong mid majors and a solid in season tourney and there is enough meat there to get an at large bid if the W's are there.
I know I'm sounding like UD2 and opening up a can of worms that is digested about this time every year but the landscape is changing (20 game conf schedule and new "metrics") and there ain't nothing a program like UD can do about it--adapt or die.
Yes, UD will get one less gate. Make it up by NCAA tourney $, TV $, raise per game prices a few $'s and or tighten the belt on other program's spending.

As long as it doesn't conflict with our North Florida or Presbyterian games.

If schools have no interest in playing UD in a 1 for 1, they are not going to have any interest in playing UD in a 2 for 1. Its as much about the decline of available non-conference games and dates as it is the opponent. Power-5 schools dont want to be on the hook for three seasons against a non Power-5 school -- any school, but let alone one like Dayton, St. Marys, Wichita State, URI, VCU, etc. They simply don't need that much help.
You are overestimating the importance of Power-5 non-conference seasons to consider they need Dayton on their schedules for 3 years. They dont even need Dayton on the schedule for 2. Thats the problem. They can go fishing for far cheaper and less competitive non-cons every year from the MEAC and NEC to fill those slots -- and never have to give up a road game to boot. These schools want a Power-5 road game when they want one. No matter what UD offers, they cannot dangle that carrot and for 90% of these institutions thats the only carrot that matters.
Andy Kennedy was a habitual exception in college scheduling.

And the oceans have purple lobsters. The exception proves the rule.

I've been beating the drum in the schedule theory and 20 game schedule threads about this
No disagreement with you there but there are some openings out there

OSU must have heard that Sam Miller is playing for Charleston.
On a serious note, let's see if the third game at Charleston is actually played. Many are not.

Yes
The new NET evaluation tool does not penalize you for playing and losing to highly ranked teams. It penalizes you for playing weak teams. UD needs all of the quality opponents it can line up. Especially with UD's recruiting ascending to a level perhaps beyond the A-10 level under AG. This year's team will thrive over losses to Virginia (#1) Auburn (#8) Oklahoma (#16)
and Mississippi State (#32). And...we still have a chance to beat Auburn. Go Flyers!
