In the interview Dr. Maggard said if he cannot find an FBS home game, he will schedule a second FCS opponent. We won't be going on the road.

Can't say I would be happy with that situation.

he did say that would be worst case scenario. I have faith he will get something worked out with a G5 school.

2 FCS wins only count as 1 if you're FBS, correct? I remember Kansas State was in that situation when we beat them at Cajun Field. They missed a bowl even though they finished 6-6.

Correct it's almost better to have 2 open dates than 2 FCS opponents.

If the open date can get you ready for a legit D1 victory, I agree.

not necessarily... if you win 7 then it doesnt matter. if you do land at 6-6 you are still ahead of other teams that might be 5-7. you only lose the spot to the other 6-6 teams. the odds of it coming down to that are so low, i wouldnt worry about it this far out. also couldnt those wins give the team momentum/motivation to play better so makes overall win count higher in long run?

you might still have first dibs on your own conf tie in as well.....

He indicated he was confident that the issue will work itself out OK. In fact he hoped to be able to announce something on this in the near future. I interpret that as we will have another D1 home game in 2020. He made a point of saying nothing can be announced until contracts are signed. It appears he is adamant however that we will no longer be playing 7 road games. If he maintains that same approach for basketball we may still end up playing some teams that are not attractive to some.
