I'm smelling a rebirth of the Fire Jones thread......
In seriousness, while I wish there were at least 3 or so non-conf D1 home games, it is what it is. As noted, there's not much money available to get better teams in, and I'm expecting that some of the away games will garner a return trip in the future. As for the non-D1 games, I believe that you can play 2 and they won't count against your RPI or something to that affect, and most mid-major teams do this.
