Based on recent attendance history, a payday buy game nets more money for the Sycamores than a home and home with a mid power. With Wichita State and Creighton, both teams pack in 10,000+ fans and it is a better deal financially to do home and homes or to simply buy an opponent. It really isn't fair to look at what Indiana State does and think Wichita State should be following suit. And contrary to the pressure from St Louis, Indiana State shouldn't be held to the same standards in scheduling as Wichita State or Creighton.

I like this explanation MVJ...I hope you don't mind if I steal it and post it over on the Sycamore board.
