I think these schedules are the leftovers of a way to rig against RPI even though the committee has now come out to say they will no longer be using RPI... so hopefully these schools will chill out now with the non-D1 games after this year.

That's what their fans on here will say. The reality is, they need cheap home games because they don't budget for it at the appropriate level.

Its probably a combination of both. I don't know what there budgets look like.
