I can't see that happening. Those midweek games probably drive 80% of the TV deal value.

 

You're right.  They'd rather have the easy sort-of cash instead of trying to build their fan bases.

Including the next two

 

2027 - at Arizona State, Rutgers, UNLV - hosting Maine

2028 - Lafayette, at Wyoming, at West Virginia, at Vanderbilt

 

2029 and 2030 right now Akron has four OOC games scheduled but the James Madison home-and-home is almost assuredly going away.

Ofc we play Rutgers last year and next year but not the year they're historically bad

In all fairness, Rutgers is usually pretty historically bad. They were good the first time Schiano was there and stepped up a bit in his first few years after returning, but seem to be getting back to normal. Here’s to hoping they suck next year!
