I would hope UR gets a P5 game of course, but definitely get a total of 13 D1 games. If its 12 D1 games and Southern Seminary, that just looks so sad.

As I recall, it was in a Bob Black radio appearance, and I think we are supposed to be at Elon and the ECU series starts at the Robins Center. I’ll see if I can find that show again unless someone else beats me to it.

You are right. Apparently the ECU article on 247 has a typo that fooled the Google summary. First game is this year at UR, return game the following season.
 
With this inept and sad schedule (I blame CM) to have any prayer of a at-large bid UR would have to go 11-1 or better in OOC. D3 game doesn't count with NET, Torvik or Kenpom, let alone the selection committee.

15-3 or better in A10 reg. season and 2-1 in A10T (must make it to Sunday)

Total 28-5

* Even then, with no quality wins, its no guarentee the selection committee takes UR. They obviously are skewed towards P5 teams and are corrupt. Look at UNC situation last March.
* Its A10T champs or bust.
* UR will be improved, but I doubt they'll even make NIT. CM pads the schedule to get more wins, and extends his contract.
* Shaking my head
 
So based on last year's NETs, here is the quad breakdown:

Q2
128. at Belmont

Q3
114. vs Illinois State (depending on MTE results)
124. vs Furman
191. at Elon

Q4
176. ECU
190. Southern Illinois
218. W&M
269. Gardner–Webb
270. vs Charlotte (depending on MTE results)
293. ODU
294. VMI
296. Charleston Southern
361. The Citadel

Non-DI
Southern Virginia
