When will our 2020 schedule be worked out? Seems to be cutting it close to get a decent arrangement...

I'm sure it's already set. Just have our beat reporter put in a FOI request :laugh:Quote:

2019.... the ONLY thing to keep us from 11-1 will be ourselves. That schedule is WEAK.
Marshall/FIU finished 2 & 3 in East (not sure what they have coming back).Quote:

Agreed. The biggest threats to Skippy and the boys will be road games at Texas & Marshall, and at home against USM & FIU. Former University of Miami and North Carolina Head coach Butch Davis has done a nice job of rebuilding the FIU program. The Panthers won 6 of their last 7 regular season games, and then topped off the 2018 season with a 35-32 win over Toledo in the Bahamas bowl. They finished 2018 with a 9-4 record. FIU will be solid.Quote:

I wish one of you research gurus would do this. I will try when I get a rainy weekend day to work on it...Quote:

Do the same for lsu last year and Clemson in 2022.
FWIW, we have no money games 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024,or 2025.
Baylor will pay us $500K for the 2020 game and the other two are treated as home and home, so that's a half payout.Quote:

I suspect that's on purpose. Seems logical to wait until prices escalate a bit for money games before signing up. Why sign up for a "2021 money game" in 2017 for 1.0M, when you can wait until 2019 or 2020 and sign up for a similar 2021 money game for $1.3M?Quote:

The point wasn't to argue about what the going rates are, and whether you like them or not. It was simply to acknowlewdge that the rates will be worth more in the future than they are today. And you just acknowledged that.Quote:
