2022 Schedule Change

[nzm136]

Gotcha...I'd still be cool with MTSU but trips to Rice and Tulane are better for recruiting and touristy stuff for the fans.

I’d personally rather MTSU, but I think Rice and Tulane are better for SU (and 95% of fans) for the reasons that you said.

I agree with your points, but must confess I have a geographic interest, too.

Akron is available for 09/05

What we have so far in 2020

• 09/12 - at Rutgers
• 10/17 - Liberty

I would play at Akron on 09/05 and get them to return twice to the Dome in future 5-7 years. Akron already has two OOC road trips scheduled and we would help them sell season tickets.

It would allow extra time to get theDome ready in 2020. We should be able to beat them there. It isn't a huge roadtrip for either team.

We’re likely playing WMU in 2020 on 9/5. WMU would return game in 2022 or 2023.

[SWC75]

We owe Wyoming a game.

 

[kcsu]

[kirbivore]

Herm being Herm

 

[kirbivore]

We have Purdue (9/17) and Notre Dame (TBA) at home in 2022.

No other OOC games scheduled.

Ohio has room in 2023 and 2024.

My dream SU road game is at UNLV. the rebels have two open spots in 2021, 2024 and three openings in 2022

WMU is okay...actually it was a solid road trip. I just like Akron as it is about 3.5 hours closer to CNY.

Why don't we just play them both?

I like Akron too ... because it’s a Cuyahogacuse home game. When do we start the Fine Mess road trip sign ups?

 

[Moontan]

I suspect neither Rice nor Tulane would give us a 2-for-1. I’d be good with a 3-for-2.

 

[Moontan]

We owe Wyoming a game.

Technically, Syracuse honored the contract, albeit not in the classiest of ways.

 

[supp]

I'm more concerned that we can't seem to schedule 7 home games. Why is it so hard?

Money is the answer. The cost of these guarantee games is going higher and higher every year. A cool million to buy an opponent. Some way more. Alabama paid $1.5 million or something like that for Arkansas State this past year. Ten years ago, most of these buy games were $500K at most. Competition for them is the only thing that explains the cost inflation. $1 million is chump change for the SEC teams that fill up their 80K stadiums no matter who shows up but it's a big chunk of the ticket sales at Syracuse. If SU wants a guarantee game, they need to look local where their smaller guarantee is made up for by the lower expenses the mid-major incurs by playing us vs. a southern school. Of course, there's no competing with PSU for opponents close by like Ohio.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Doesn't ECU owe us a game from like forever ago?

 

[Moontan]

Doesn't ECU owe us a game from like forever ago?

Yup. I suspect that the only way we could collect is if we were to add a 1-for-1. I wouldn’t be surprised if the SU AD wants nothing more to do with ECU.

Would love to do a west coast trip. Arizona State or Oregon State.

They will likely schedule a school in an area we intend to recruit, if possible. of course we got Dungey from Oregon and Dino came from the west coast. But I'm not sure how much recruiting we plan to do there.
