Iāll be spending that evening at home with my family, cherishing the money I didnāt spend on season tickets.

It seems that this will be the theme under Price. Doesnāt want to hurt RPI by playing an Oregon State every year. I donāt agree with it, but we are stuck with this for the foreseeable future it looks like.
Didnāt they just decide that they were going to discount the importance in RPI in the NCAA selection process? Whatās the point? It looks worse to play a non D1 team.

As noted in another thread, RPI āsurvivedā latest tweaks to NCAA tournament selection process, but likely will be eliminated following 2017-18 season.
This has nothing to do with RPI. Weāre about to have a fifth consecutive season outside the top 100.
This is all about saving a few bucks.

ā¦ and trying to add a W to the win column where it is misleading to anyone looking at it. Teams should have to at the very least put an asterik and comment for wins against non-d1. The school should exclude the W from the actual record because itās embarrassing.
I canāt remember Prices contract but I wonder if there is a W incentive and the school didnāt put āD-1ā in the language.

Ha! Most people donāt realize how good these D-2 teams can be.

Worst Case Scenario: What if we lose?

If only Methodist were D-2 we could hold our heads high as we pulled out a last minute win against a bunch of undersized, but scrappy kids that did not start in high school. Methodist however, is D-3. These non-scholarship athletes could not win the intramural championship at Charlotte, but will probably give our scaredy-cat team all they can handle as we struggle to build a winning record.
I canāt believe weāre playing Methodist as a regular season game. All the crap we gave other teamsā fans about their teams playing ridiculous opponents and counting it can now be thrown back at us.
The conference should be pissed, unless they think we canāt win against even the worst D-1 opponents.
This has to be a make-or-break year for Price. Iād say heās behind right now and needs a big leap forward to catch up to consider an extension, unless we really have given up on basketball.
Edit: just to add, aside from Methodist and no exempt tournament, this schedule is not bad. If they had just scheduled some D-1 school from the MEAC instead of a D-3 school, then I donāt think this gets as much criticism.
If we didnt count Methodist as a W our 84/85 basketball team would have only 4 wins instead of 5!
Glory Days
The next season, enter Jeff Mullins!!

I agree with everything you say here. Maybe we tried to schedule Presbyterian and wound up with Methodist instead?
Just shows you also how our fan base has regressed. If Lutz or Major tried this, they would be absolutely skewered on here.

The conference would have to care in order to be pissed.

Are you saying that the last time we played Methodist in a regular season game, the next year we had a new Athletic Director? If so, I could get behind scheduling this game.
