Also a lot of larger schools just won't schedule basketball games against mid majors that they think they might lose against, hell we've seen it ourselves over the past couple of years.

The Yale coach was complaining about that in a preseason article.
The University of New Haven just went DI in all sports and they hosted Penn State in their campus gym, which seats less than 1,000. The Penn State coach was willing to come there to help promote their program, but in return, UNH has to play at Penn State the next three years and won't receive any money for coming.

Honestly not a terrible deal?

Yale can now tell potential recruits that they'll get to play in a big arena with a ton of fans as opposed to going and playing western Connecticut in front of 200 people. It's not the end all-be all but it helps. Similar to Cornell hockey playing at msg.

I meant for UNH as a new D1 team. Tougher sell for Yale.
