There is lots of benefit to playing better opponents prior to your conference schedule.i mean for most mid major programs, there's really no benefit to playing P6 teams as they need to win their tournament many times to have a chance to dance.
Not really smart to do this. If a player has blown up at the lower level the P6 coaches can get as much game film as needed to make an evaluation. The small schools are just losing out in a major source of revenue. Also, getting players picked off by major programs could be a recruiting tool. Imaging telling a recruit that we play several P6 schools and have been know to develop players that have made the jump to a P6 school. It could sway some recruits away from your rivals that have not had players jump to a major program.
Go Gophers!!
aside from #1, you live in an idealistic world, not a pragmatic one.There is lots of benefit to playing better opponents prior to your conference schedule.
#1 Money. Negotiate a pay day to add to your basketball budget.
#2 Travel to attractive places to help recruiting...again with expenses paid by the host.
#3 The biggest reason, you want to challenge your team. Make them better. Put them into an overload situation and see who folds and who competes. Determine your weaknesses and fix them prior to conference play. Learn who you are. Build on strengths, fix or camouflage weaknesses. Kids wanna play the best. Show they belong. You can't hide your guys....dumb...dumb. I can't tell if he's good or quick playing lesser competition????
#4 What the heck kinda message is that to your team? You gonna lie about it or tell the truth why?
Either way, anybody who wants to compete is gonna leave your scared nonsense anyway.
#5 You absolutely will not improve winning non conference games by 20 plus points. Conference games cannot be your first adversity.
This. Plus almost every game is broadcast somewhere. The idea you're denying them a chance to evaluate is dumb.There is lots of benefit to playing better opponents prior to your conference schedule.
