LOL at 3:1's with USU and 8 home games/year.

I would love to have 7 home games a year and a 2 for 1 with USU, and I think that's unlikely most years, let alone 3-1 and 8 home games.

Also ticket prices would go up with 7 home games rather than 6, and that may hurt ticket sales.

We could pay for the payday game using ESPN's money for that game.

So far Holmoe has been content to use neutral site games instead of trying to secure extra home games. But I guess we'll see if those keep coming or if things go another direction.

USU does not believe BYU is the big brother. They would look foolish to agree to a 3:1 schedule ... they MIGHT be able to sell a 2:1 schedule if it paid enough. The neutral site option works well with P5 and G5 opponents (especially because Holmoe has done an incredible job getting NFL venues for us), and that has worked. Getting greedy won't help us.
