What conference is going to 10 games? Playing smaller teams will be crucial bc the Miss States and the Wake Forests of the world use them to get to .500 and minor bowls...
Big Ten and Pac Ten are up to 9 and there's talk about 10 so they all get five home and five road. The SEC will most likely play more conference games. The TV money demands it and yes attendance can be an issue. People don't want to pay big money for games against USL. The playoffs are coming.
The committee that selects teams will reward schools with harder schedules. Teams like USL won't be able to demand one home game for two road games against schools like Wake Forrest and Indiana since they will have more conference games.

Totally agree with this. The one negative will be the possible elimination of games like that. Teams like ULL will still get to travel to play these teams though so there will still be a financial windfall available.

Playing in the dome gives them a recruiting advantage over a Southern Miss, ULL or McNeese
Couldn't disagree more with this. The Dome had an absolutely terrible atmosphere for Tulane games. On-Campus stadium will be very nice. Tulane has a very nice campus and the tailgating on-campus will provide a much more attractive recruiting tool than the atmosphere surrounding the dome.
The Dome was not a good setup for Tulane in any way.
