"Buy game" = home game that we get in exchange for paying opponent $, not a home-and-home.
I'm sure you've heard the phrase --- or maybe I'm using it incorrectly. If I am, I eagerly anticipate your lecture, similar to your (incorrect) lecture about Nielsen ratings last week.
Anyway, the following is a fact. We have TWO (one, fine, but two?) OOC games now scheduled in 2020 against teams:
(1) that won 3 or less games in 2017,
(2) while playing in a low-tier conference (MWC), and
(3) are both further away from State College, PA than Caracas, Venezuela (e.g., these foes have absolutely zero regional appeal).
That 2020 schedule is on the heels of scheduling both Idaho & Buffalo in 2019. That's an FCS team and an average-at-best MAC team.
Both Buffalo and Moscow, Idaho ARE closer to State College, PA than Caracas, however. Those two schools do have that going for them.
