With the addition of one road game by going from 18 to 20, you'll find teams more likely NOT to take a road buy game, to protect a home gate.
But you can't have it both ways. In you post you say schools have to schedule up to get an at-large, and in the next you say they won't get rid of home cupcakes. Which is it?
That's why he is saying this is a potential disaster. He's not saying both are possible together. It's a Catch-22. He's saying one needs to happen, but schools depend on x number of home games for their bottom line. Something's got to give.
So the solution is more non-DI home games, which isn't good for anyone (except the non-DI's).
