That is very true.

If we break it down by location...

Louisville
No reason to have them yearly. Not a good location. Not a like school. No real history.

UVA/VA Tech
We really should have one of these two as a perm. But not both. Four games in 6 years is enough. UVA makes more sense IMO. A tad closer. More similar athletically and fanbase wise. We have a history with VA Tech but the 90s and 00s aren't coming back for either program.

UNC/NC State/Duke/Wake
We don't want any of these schools. Four trips in 6 years is plenty. No need to play there every year by having a perm.

Clemson/GA Tech
Two games in 6 years is probably enough for the area. We don't really need four.

FSU/Miami
Only 2 games in 6 years is a bit light. Would be better to have four. Then again we could play OOC vs a Fla school to make up for it. Playing FSU yearly makes little sense.

Stanford/Cal
Two games in 6 years is enough for the area. We don't need four. That is a long trip for the players to recover from. Our West Coast alumni have a game every 3 years vs 0.0 they get now. Having two in 3 years is greedy.

SMU
I think it would be too hard to be a real player in Texas recruiting. One game in 6 years is probably enough to get a random kid. We have in the past with zero games. Having three games in 6 years won't open the flood gates.

So I think it has to be BC, Pitt, a VA school, and then one of Miami, GA Tech, or SMU. If it is GA Tech or SMU we should schedule OOC USF or FAU to get a 3rd Fla game over that 6 year period.

I think anyone else as a perm would be bad for the program.
