If you really care about it, this mostly likely was done for Cal. Flying a team halfway across the country to sit in a hotel for a few days wouldn't be fun or prudent or good for their program.

I call bullshite on this.

They replaced Cal with Eastern Illinois. You don't think it won't cost Eastern Illinois money especially at this late notice. It might be a little less than Cal's expenses but it will still be expensive considering Eastern Illinois' budget to Cal's budget.

Arkansas found a convenient excuse to not face a P5 team because Van Horn knows Arky is not very good this year. He wants to pad the record as much as possible even at the expense of reducing the strength of schedule. You won't get to the regionals with a losing record.
