I found this to be very interesting. There has been a lot of talk about RPI. Right now UH sits at 74. Winning the ECU series next weekend could help that a lot. ECU is at 32, and the series is at ECU.
Flat-out canceled a game on the schedule for no reason other than to protect RPI. No weather issues … just to protect RPI.
I think that’s wrong. Don’t schedule Incarnate Word if you don’t want to play them. Plus, there are contracts involved. I guess IW also agreed to not play from what I can tell. Still, this is ridiculous to me. You chose to schedule them, A&M…
While it is weak, it happens. I believe that we cancelled a game with SFA a couple of years ago for basically the same reason. Maybe Covid came into play, but playing that game was going to kill our RPI.
Cancelling the game was the smart thing to do. Scheduling them in the first place wasn’t.
A lot of ECU fans were really critical of us when we cancelled our series last year. They were on the bubble to host and did end up being awarded a regional. Did they ever apologize for being so obnoxious and thank us for cancelling?
