2017 OOC Football Schedule

[ManAboutTown]

Exactly. Jay said on his show yesterday that the University is no longer planning on scheduling one home and two away games with P5s, my question is why? All other schools on our level are doing it, and it's working for them.

If he said that, that's infuriating. Like you posted yesterday, the 2 for 1 arrangement is working for G5 schools (pretty sure that's how we got Boise St). As a ticket holder and donor, I demand to know why we are no longer employing this tactic? So you're telling me, if Ole Miss would come to the table for a 2 for 1 scheduling agreement, they would turn them down?

Guys, Farmer and Savoie have put their ingnorance about collegiate sports on display many times before, but this is a glaring indictment of their future planning.

Boise was a true home and home. I think the last time we did it was Oklahoma State. I would love an explanation and think it would be a great question next time Farmer is on the show.

Reason we do not like 2 for 1's is because you are not paid for either road game. I imagine we would be OK with it if we were paid something for the 2nd road game.

Most of you will think I'm stupid, but I don't care.

I have no problem with an in-state FCS, 2 road P5's, and a home and home with a G5 provided that G5 is from the MWC, AAC or select CUSA schools.

This program is in dire need of self generated revenue and P5 wins.

As I understand it, Okie St was and 1 and 1 and the the return trip we made was a money game.

What this program is in dire need of is leadership. Perhaps an AD that can accomplishes the job of the Atheltic Director's job: 1) Raise money 2) schedule.

People like to compare us to ULM.
Look at who ULM is hosting in the next 3 years.

The difference is simple.
Brian Wickstrom = real AD
Scott Farmer and his Mickey Mouse staff = well, y'all know.

---I admit that I don't know the answer to this but am trying to remember---Didn't we give revenue outside raised funds to athletics that were more than the transfer funds would have been? And by doing this we could say that the program was self sufficient and was not actually classed with all the state schools other than LSU? I do know that there was a lawmaker that raised the case to cut travel expenses to the schools that were using that money---does anybody know the answer to this?

Nope, the auxiliary fees are not more than $7.6 plus we get from the transfer. You can be self sufficient when you have other revenue streams set up, until then you are choking your athletic program.

Maybe we need the extra P5 payday to help pay for the Tigue? HaHa!
