Let's not go overboard. It's not a "terrible idea" for SJU to play Iona. We play midmajors, everyone does.
Wtf difference does it make if we lose to Iona instead of St Marys, USF, Long Beach State, UNC Ashville, or Florida Golf Coast? It doesn't really.
I understand what you're saying goredmen. There's no reason for SJU to go out of there way to play a midmajor where they might lose. And Baldis mission can get tedious.
But it's not incomprehensible that we'd play the Gaels.
