(Ideally I'd like to see Marshall on 4 off 2 with UC in the 2 off yrs.) MY STATE. MY TEAM.

With UC's rivalry game against Miami happening every year, I doubt that they would have any interest in playing another MAC school every year as well. The best we can hope for, and have already accomplished, is a one-off situation like we have coming in the future.

Some schools, though, said they expect to play more of those kinds of games to help fund the program.

I'm fine with playing Cincinnati and Marshall every once in a while as part of my ACC with AAC/CUSA schools peppered in strategy. When we play them every year it makes the schedule feel too regional.

I'm curious to know and discuss a few things about this thought, because multiple people have mentioned the idea in various threads. Unless we're playing UC or UK, I'm not sure where the value in this is. I can't see Ohio selling enough tickets to make this seem like a home game. I personally can't envision a scenario where a B1G school would play this game either. Also mentioned was the idea of Cleveland, so it might make sense to look at them both. I just don't see the allure unfortunately. Maybe there's a thought I'm missing.

You lost me, Wes. Playing close P5 opponents that fans can drive to, and where Ohio has a chance to win seems like a perfect strategy to me.

I agree. It works for me. I'm sure the athletic department likes get $1 million-plus sometimes, and it's fun to face a football powerhouse sometimes, but I'm glad we aren't that desperate for money that we have to have that kind of game every year, that we can get half as much and play someone we generally should have a better chance of beating.
