Is this informational or are you trying to make a point? If it's the latter, I do not see it. If it is join the MAC, we have covered this relentlessly. If it is one of your (now 3) continuous trolling bait of scheduling ...With the possible exception of UT, not a single one of those teams (on a regular basis) does in no way, shape or form help us with the play-off. So why not take the home games with RMU or Duquesne? In a normal year, UT would defeat us in 99 out of 100 games played. So one UNI is enough for me. Now if you want to drop one of those two (soon to be FULL scholarship) schools that can bus to Youngstown and schedule our conference bye team ...then you have a point and a conversation.

The Sagarin rankings show that the MAC, especially the MAC East, and even more especially the teams near YSU, are only a little better rated than NEC teams we've played. If you replace a NEC team with a MAC team, the reward would be significant....more fan interest, more revenue for YSU, and more impressive wins for the selection committee to see. That's what we want, right?

No and no. First of all ...no away game (against any opponent, not even OSU) is more interesting to a real fan, than a home game. secondly, those games got us in the play-off. As to MAC schools, I guess we should look at their ranking before we decide to play?

You would rather watch Duquesne at Stambaugh that be the away team in the horseshoe in Columbus? Seriously?
Not me. I would definitely rather travel to Kent, Akron and Buffalo to see competitive games than watch the nonsense games of Duquesne, Dayton, Valparaiso, Slippery Rock etc. at home.
1-AA, I understand your resentment of KSU and UA, but it does cloud your vision.

For me, I will take a home game any time over any away game. Okay, forget it is close enough to drive to, would you feel the same way? The feeling is not just Akron and Kent ...it is any MAC school. It is the conference that passed the rule.
