Ok…4 non conference games a year…play a 3 for 1 each year for five or more years in a row…at some point, we would be right back where we started because the 3 side of the equation would become due. It’s not something that would be spread out into the next couple of decades.

Last 2 p5 games at Cajun field going off memory and I was at both. Kansas state in a monsoon and Oklahoma state on a Friday competing with high school football. So numbers are lower than could be. And we weren’t a good program. You host miss state on Saturday at 6:00pm you’d easily have 35k

It is always good to dream.

It’s the chicken and egg argument. We can’t afford to bring in a quality opponent because we don’t have the money because we don’t sell tickets because we don’t bring in quality opponents. It’s an investment!!!

We’re talking about spending 50+million on a stadium renovation that doesn’t guarantee a return. But we can’t spend 1-2 million on a quality opponent to boost ticket sales. Let’s stop saying we want to be big time, and quit wondering why we aren’t.

Maybe we can host a low level SEC school like LSU.

Where will the money come from? You have repeatedly ignored that question. It’s a valid one. It’s the million dollar question Dr. M has to answer to do what you want. Help him out. Answer the question.

We had 10k for Kansas St.

Just for clarity, it was a monsoon for that game

If I recall, ECU plays NC State on a somewhat regular basis...did you list App hosting Miami?

The schedules only went back 5 years. App State played Miami on the road in 2021. If they hosted Miami, it was prior to 2017.

Since 2016, ECU played NC State away in 2019 and hosts in 2022.

It would cost a lot more than 1 to 2 million to bring in a P5 school here. Teams that it are doing so use the 2 for 1 concept. I expect those to involve getting no funds for the road games in the future.
