RPI Rankings Released

2008 seems to be when this trend started with multiple out of state games, and then 2011 they had 4-5 out of state games. 

But even though a team may lose to them, why would a AD want to remove Trinity from a home and away series and you know that may well be your biggest gate of the season?

At the end of the day, I don't think it was teams not scheduling Trinity, I think Trinity realized how lucrative the out of state games were. Program exposure, financially and game experience wise.

But @Tigerpride94 again, I hope you don't think I was trolling or anything. But I honestly wondered while everyone is debating RPI, RPI basically doesn't even apply to Trinity, and maybe more of the top KY teams SHOULD schedule these out of state games irregardless of RPI. 

Especially if the regular season in KY is basically all glorified scrimmages since everyone is going to make the playoffs anyway (except for a couple of random districts)

It actually started closer to 2002-2003.  I know in 2003 they played Montgomery Bell and St. X (Cincy).  It did start to be 4-5 close to the time you stated, but I think the reason it took off even more was that was about the time KY went from 4 classes to 6 classes, effectively taking Trinity from a district of 6 teamss, meaning they had to play the 5 other district teams, to a district of 4 teams so they only had 3 district games.  That allowed them to schedule 2 additional games of their choice and for the most part, they selected out of state schools.
