Unless that "schedule your own game" thing is real, in which case, why not do that? Have SDSU or Chattanooga or someone come in and play. I'm not sure it would really generate a lot more revenue.

skers83 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 If they are gonna do the extra game is Doane available. If they're good enough for Hoiberg.... Quote Link to comment

Kansas could use the money, plus they have a center that hikes the ball over the QBs head ever higher than yours does and with alarming frequency. Nothing like drubbing Kansas to improve morale 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment

All Hail Herbie Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 With the about face taken by University Presidents and Conference Administration, this season has been nothing more than developmental for most schools. I have heard several folks talk about the importance of extra bowl practices, but honestly, the games have been by far the most important aspect of a season where players did not take an eligibility hit. The Kansas idea has merit. With a bowl highly unlikely, and given the strange circumstances around this season, why not request a waiver to play against KU in Lawrence? Clearly, the team needs more game reps. Quote Link to comment

bugeater17 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Another game would be a good opportunity to play a lot of back-ups and young guys to get a look for next year - somewhat similar to the Jaimes and Corcoran situation. 5 Quote Link to comment
GamingGlen Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 How about coming down here to sunny WARM weather? Play FIU (winless) or FAU (4-1). Think of it as Orange Bowl lite. 2 Quote Link to comment

Just end this dumpster fire of a season. Agree. Boston College had a legitimate 11 game winning season and the players voted to opt out of a guaranteed bowl game to spend December with their families. Apparently there was a big cheer when the vote was cast. Kansas State, Louisville, Va. Tech, Stanford, Pittsburgh and Virginia have opted out, too. Imagine committing to the practices, not seeing your family over the holidays, and having the game called off a couple days before kick-off. Yay. I get the supposedly irreplaceable value of game situation reps, but if there's the slightest remaining hint that a bowl game is the reward for a regular season, I'd opt out as a matter of pride. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
