By my count, around 11 of Chicago States losses were to post season teams. That number is more like a Big 12 team than an NEC team. Most NEC teams barely played any outside of the NEC representative itself.

Fortunately, the next coach should not be inheriting a big commitment of return road games like Spinelli did and should be able to get at least a few more home games. I have no problem with non D1 teams, as a lot of schools out there are padding on 4 extra wins a year with them.

Neither do I. It is no worse than power conference schools playing bottom tier D1 teams.
