Actually, my point was to take a longer view. 8 games in 20 years isn't an overload, and to look elsewhere just because you're on a short term losing streak is weak. Monmouth is improving, convenient for your fan base, in a prime recruiting area... and you'd rather play Kennesaw State or Gardner Webb just for variety? It would be a better argument if you were 8-0 vs. Monmouth...
