Maybe I am naïve, but do some programs, like Army, actually like playing in the Dome every year? If the schedule is going to start in February, and if you are northern based school, doesn't the idea of playing indoors seem pretty appealing? I think one year the Dome hosted a double header of an SU game and Cornell vs Hobart early in the year. Army especailly has found a lot of success by recruiting in CNY. I could be very wrong of course, I thought Scott Marr was okay playing in the Dome every year, but that obviously wasn't the case.

The one team we haven't' talked much about is Vermont. Can't imagine they will play up in Burlington outdoors in February. Are they coming back to the Dome or was that a one time thing? Since SU doesn't do a lot of strict Home and Away deals its hard to know who is due back on the schedule. I don't think the Catamounts project to be very good next year.

I really hope they don't move the Princeton game to Long Island. I absolutely think they should try and play once a year on the Island, but not at the expense of a home game with a team like Princeton, who hasn't been in the Dome for a long time.  Furthermore, if they don't want to play teams like Hofstra and Stony Brook, hard to see them adding a team like Fairfield.

UNC, Notre Dame and Hopkins will be on the road I believe.  The last time they played Cornell was in Syracuse so I assume that game would be in Ithaca. That would leave Virginia and Duke as the big home games. That doesn't seem like a lot unless there is another major add to the schedule, like Maryland coming back.
