Just checking Kenpom because it's very user-friendly, Dayton's non-conference schedule has been ranked in the top 100 only three times (2002, 2003, 2010) in the years covered (2002-2015) and has never been higher than 159th under Archie Miller.
Gonzaga in that same span of time has had a top 100 schedule in all but two years (2012, 2014) and has had six top 50 schedules, which goes a long way in explaining the disparity in OOC winning percentage. I think Gonzaga is overrated by the media, but they are still on a whole different level from Dayton.

1) I met their online fanbase.

Anyway, if I were X. I would try to keep them out simply because they are so close geographically. We already have Butler pretty close and we are fighting them for recruits (Bluiett and Macura I believe.)

I don't get the whole "close geography is bad" thing.
