Syracuse has been a dogshit program for most of the last 20 years. BYU had the potential to be a good game, but, of course, it was a neutral site game

True, but I see his point. Syracuse is still a P5 school and BYU is a national brand. When many of these games are scheduled, there's no telling if the teams will be good or bad.

I think fans underestimate the difficulty of filling a schedule. Neutral site games aren't ideal, but Alleva would be roasted even further than he already is if he had turned down some of those matchups and ended up with an extra home game against a Sun Belt school. It's not like USC and Michigan are on hold, looking to travel to Tiger Stadium.

The upcoming home-and-homes with Texas and UCLA at least show we're trying. Hopefully no one backs out of those deals.

What are the odds that the TX/UCLA home/homes morph into neutral site games or somehow disappear altogether...just like the "phantom" home/home vs. OK ?
As long as the season ticket holders "buy" into the "we need the additional neutral site revenue"...AND look at all the recruits we'll get from these games...LOL !

Byu should have been in TS all along. Fans paid same rates this year and were screwed out of a game and left with garbage.
