I don’t think Big 5 nor A-10 is the primary reason for the glut of home OOC games. I think it’s all about the money and guaranteed gate. If we could guarantee a gate of 4K per game, teams would be lining up to play at Stabler, Patriot League or not.
If my feeble memory serves me correctly, teams like Penn State , Penn, Princeton regularly came to Lehigh when our attendence was really good during the Queenan through Krizansky years. I believe Drexel came here a few times even after the ECC days (too lazy to research it tonight)
