Some of them are spoiled. Some coaches don’t want to be on a bus for a 1.5 hour trip (WF) or a 2 hour ride (UNcC) and do not want their players to do it, either. They forget about when they were in high school and long rides were the usual.
CLT, ECU have budgets so BIG they can 'BUY' lower D1 teams and play at home instead of risking a road loss. it's all about scheduling wins --
Case in point everyone wants a tough a** non conference Football schedule but don't expect to lost any games- loses come with hard games.
Jim Fox got fired because he over scheduled, no one cared who played, everyone just saw he lost games. He beat Davidson and South Florida in Boone and NO ONE CARED. He played every ACC school no one cared, he got App State a game in Madison Square Garden no one cared.
DG packaged in ECU basketball with football a few years ago -- but that's hard to do anyone.
Most D1 like the neutral games of no crowds. Kerns at least is taking the show on the road around the state at least for most of you winter off the mountain fans can get out and see them play.
