SchedULing Paradox

That's going to limit us to other more high profile G5 or certainly P5 teams that might consider coming here to the cajundome. It's hard enough for us to get a 1 for 1 with those guys and I would imagine we'd have to entice them with the 2 for 1 or even 3 for 1 scenario.

That is right so with the no 2 for 1 contracts policy don’t expect to see a “name” team come here anytime soon. That is why I would go to CUSA now if given the opportunity despite the SBC being a higher ranked league last season. Better geographic opponents for us in CUSA.

I don't see the upside to college football for doing this. It shortens the season (time wise, not game wise), NFL will be going full strength already and baseball playoffs will be starting.

People are already chomping at the bit for games this weekend, 8/24 and you are seeing posts every day since June or July that you cannot wait for college football to get here.

I understand that MAYBE more people would attend live, but that would not offset the losses in revenue from what TV contracts bring in for that extra 3-4 weeks, IMO.

fair enough.....
