say we had to schedule a 1-AA opponent in football

It would suck, but if that's what we're assuming, okay.

How would you feel about
Southern

I would rather Appy State again, or JMU, or some other out of state 1-AA, before I'd like to see one of them on the schedule. Playing any 1-AA team obviously won't help us strategically (rankings, BCS, etc.). And playing an in-state 1-AA team would do nothing to expand our exposure in another region, much less nationally. And fans from an in-state opponent would give little (if any) boost economically. Bringing in a top-level 1-AA team like JMU or Youngstown State to a venue like Tiger Stadium would most likely attract a greater number of fans who would be likely to spend more money that weekend in Louisiana (probably in New Orleans, of course; but still in the state).

Ideally, however, we would be limiting our cupcakes to out of state mid-majors like Central Florida, Fresno State and the Big Ten.
