And Barnes making those discussions public. Dixon cracked the RPI code and does not want to risk losses for the sake of a few extra tickets being sold. For example, if we lost to WVU this year instead of beating UMES, maybe we sont dont go to the NCAAT. Jamie is excellent with numbers and knows how to game the system. At Pitt, fans have showed they dont care about Nov/Dec cupcakes and dont show up. Barnes didnt like that but Jamie needs those games for RPI gaming. At TCU, he can go back to gaming. Go 12-1 in the OOC. Find a way to go 9-9 in the B12, you're in and they name the arena after you. Jamie is a very egotistical guy (as are all coaches) and I dont think he likes having his boss tell him how to schedule. Del Conte will probably tell him he can do whatever he wants.
