1) Seems like right now, it's one decision, the USC game.  We don't know for sure that OU's return would be in NYC with no Dome appearance as part of the deal.  Yes, I think it's a distinct possibility, but we don't know.  What other decisions?  Penn State is a 1-1-1.  ND is a play them or don't, and I think it's better to play them.  Can't blame Gross for the school putting up academic buildings where parking lots once stood.  And we still sell a good chunk of very good season tickets for $99, which in college football terms, is giving them away.  Those with premium seats can comment if pricing is turning them away, I understand that could be something I'm overlooking, because I just don't know from my seat in Cheapville.  Which is in the front row of the upper deck at a smallish stadium with seats right on top of the field. Still amazed I get to pay so little for such a great seat.  But I digress...
 
2) You got me on that one, didn't realize that.  But there were plenty of articles where Big East coaches and ADs were quoted as wanting 9 teams for scheduling balance.  I think Gross assumed, or perhaps was ensured, they would eventually decide on a team and get there.
 
4) I don't know who you're talking to, but if people in CNY do not think (for football) that FSU, Clemson, Maryland, BC, NC State, Wake, Pitt each year with VT, Miami, UVA, UNC, GT mixed in, is more attractive than RU, UConn, Louisville, Cincy, USF, then I think SU will probably have a good idea how deep their problem lies.  And if it can even be fixed.  But I do agree that we need to put a better team on the field.  Maybe most CNYers right now can't think beyond how bad the team has been, which I could understand.
