My understanding is that the MVC has a policy where they won't do buy games and it has to be a 2 for 1? So maybe Creighton doesn't want to give up a road game to an opponent that won't get them on National TV.

Evansville won a buy game at Kentucky this year.

I have advocated for restoring a couple of series for a while now- approx. 2 years. Should renew our longest running series with Drake (now coached by DeVries-longtime CU Asst.) - annually on a H&H basis. Annual game vs Omaha, at CU. And 1 other MVC H&H ( UNI/Bradley/SIU/other). Thes 3 games can replace 3 current buy games imo.

I’m sure that you advocating will make the CU athletics department reconsider what they’ve chosen to do in terms of scheduling.

I doubt it.
