Well, the downside to this is that you need for coaches to be willing to play you in the future. The UL v UK game isn't that big of a deal because it's a regular series. But a school like Baylor probably isn't going to draw that line in the sand when it comes to their game at Gonzaga this year. They'll probably just agree to schedule it when the fans can come.

I think part of the decision is that there are contracts that involve money with these "buy" games. I doubt a school like IUPUI is going to be very receptive on foregoing a $300k payout if a school like butler says "Sorry... we've only got so many games now so we're sticking with our other commitments with the Big 10, Big 12, our exempt tournament and our home and home against so-and-so power 5 school." IUPUI is likely going to want that payout and does paying them make sense without playing the game and pocketing that W to try and stay above .500 by the end of the year. Those midmajors and small majors need that revenue and they are probably willing to go to court over it since it's not like they cancelled the visit.
That being said, I'm sure that Fox Sports and ESPN are also saying "hey, we want these Gavitt games or these ACC/Big 10 matchups to go on because we need some content and we're paying out $$ too".I have complete faith in coach Steele and Co.

No easy answers here. Will be interesting what happens in the next week or so. Wonder when we'll start hearing some details.

You play the game and move on for crying out loud. This year has been bad enough. Sack up.

It is so small and petty.
Just play the game. Every team is going through a sacrifice. UL doesn't want a home UL game with no fans? Tough. Get over it and man up.

Speaking of whiny little (lying) bitches, Arizona is rumored to be looking to dump Gonzaga and Illinois and reschedule for next year. It looks like it’s the good OOC games that are getting dumped and not the buy games.
