Would you rather play in south Florida or northern Kentucky?

Would you rather play a team where we have a shared history, or would you rather play a team we played in the GRob years? Would you rather play a team that was the Alabama of 1980-2002 or the team that played in the CUSA? Would you rather play a team attached to a well-respected university, or would you rather play Louisville? Would you rather play a private school, or would you rather play a public school? (The last point probably isn’t a big deal, but I feel more of a connection in games involving other private schools.)

So yeah, I’d MUCH rather take the extra 2 games every 4 years vs Miami.

But you’re right that we won’t get them, and we will get UL instead. My only quibble is that there’s only a remote chance that BC gets Miami over Pitt.

If the conference was smarter than it is, we’d get Tech instead of UL. We don’t have a true rivalry with Tech, but we’ve had some great games.

VT - BC - Pitt is also great from SU’s perspective, Pitt - SU - UL is also fairly good from BC’s perspective. Miami - SU - BC is good from Pitt’s perspective. UL - SU - UVA probably isn’t good from VT’s perspective, which will sink the arrangement. Also, BC - VT - ??? would be great from UL’s perspective, but I don’t see any schools wanting to be UL’s 3rd. I guess it would be Miami, which would put UL over the moon, but I’m not sure Miami would love FSU - Pitt - UL
