Then about 7 teams ranked between #100 to #150 have played as many or fewer games than A&M. So the occurrence rate of teams missing a bunch of games picks up a bit as the teams get worse.
The bottom 20 teams ranked in D1 on Kenpom, looks like about a third have played 15 or fewer total games (of those that played any).
I don't think this is because the teams are worse really, but because the schools, in general, have access to fewer resources.
I don't see the point of speculating because I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes that's led to this, but we've definitely been impacted more than any other power conference teams which definitely sucks.
