Re: Interesting debate on BigTen - ACC scheduling agreement

Not a fan of any "scheduling agreement" with anyone other than the SEC. We don't need a scheduling agreement with the SEC, as we've always made that happen anyway. I hope we keep playing a 2nd SEC team after the UGA series (maybe extend that series)... someone like Bama, Auburn again, or maybe LSU or Arkansas. I would say UF, but they never play anyone other than cupcakes and FSU.
Losing the home game for a season for a home/away series

is going to be tough once we go to 9 game schedules. Maybe we could finagle some quality OOC neutral site games to kick off the season; perhaps Charlotte, St. Louis, DC, etc. A neutral site game would help with any program facing 9 conference games, and the payoff could be pretty decent. If it's over Labor Day weekend travel would be a little easier on everyone as well.
We're quickly headed towards GT-type home schedules every year ourselves.
