Playing non-D1 filler games do nothing to your numbers, which is better than playing D1 filler games that harm your numbers. It was just a pointless game, scheduled solely to get more gate from the home schedule. It's purely about money.

Ball State: @ this season
Evansville: @ this season
Valparaiso: Horizon League is still ticked off
Notre Dame won't come to Hinkle
IU won't come to Hinkle
Purdue won't come to Hinkle
IPFW is too big of a RPI hit
IUPUI is too big of a RPI hit
Indiana State will be back on the sked next year
Collier, and in the past Stevens, was quoted as saying Butler doesn't play 2-for-1's...1-for-1's only. Gonzaga agreed to that, Ohio State agreed to that, but others rarely do, maybe that will change with Big East status in the next few years.
