I would estimate that since most of the top programs in the conference and region are going to an 11 game schedule and most of those teams will win their 11th game IUP is putting itself in a deficit position by not playing an 11th game.
On the other hand, considering the SOS of IUP's first 2 scheduled games, if you think playing that 11th game might cause you to lose one of the first games then it's not worth it.
Tort's justification was that coming out of the off-year and playing no Spring schedule gives you a critical extra week to prepare and get organized.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Edit: As I recall, D2 went to a national PO format in 2019 so my reference to the "region" above doesn't really apply,
