Wasn't sure where to put this but we've locked in some money games for upcoming years.

Ugh, since there's only 5 home games in 2027 and 2028, hopefully this midweek nonsense goes away for 2028 so they can at least all be Saturday games.

Okay-ish with all of that as they are all mid/low level P4 programs with the exception of Georgia. I would prefer one P4 game a year and 6 home games every year of course, but such is life being a poor.

Excellent use of "poor" as a noun instead of an adjective. 😂

I'm perfectly content with 2 P5 games a year. We desperately need the money in order of having any hope of staying competitive in the MAC. Also, if we can't go 5-3 in MAC we frankly don't deserve to go bowling.

 

The payouts for these P5 seem decent and as @LZIp stated for the most part they're 2nd or bottom tier P5 programs. The type of opponents that an upset, while unlikely, is possible.

Make a wish or crap in your hand. See which one fills up first.

There's enough uproar from schools publicly that I think there's a chance it does go away.  Wouldn't bet on it, but there's a chance.
