One consistent assumption in this thread, and it's probably a false assumption, and that is that the purse string holders view other in-state schools as some sort of partner.

They are the competition for in-state (and regional) dollars. Not a partner.

You can get just as weak of a team in McNeese, Northwestern, Southeastern etc as Furman and would help attendance for these games plus keep the money in state. Are you gonna tell me McNeese wasn't thrilled to play us? I did hear they brought close to 8,000 which is a lot more money spent than Furman's 800. I'm all for playing in state when it comes to FCS.
