Understood to some extent but this game is literally scheduled on the one Friday night for an entire calendar year that most people of the Jewish faith will not be able to attend...

The fact of the matter is that if the University got any indication that the scheduling of a game would seriously interfere with attendance (ie the move of the Villanova game) or significantly inconvenience many members of the fan base (ie a Christmas Eve tilt) they would not be afraid to exact influence.

This, hopefully, is a move completely dictated by TV and involvement in a southern conference. I personally hope SU did everything it could to avoid this conflict. I can assure you it has disappointed many of the faithful including some who are significant donors.

It is a choice to follow a faith and it is one that, unfortunately, will keep me out of The Dome that night. Just understand that it is quite disappointing when you follow a team around the country, eat, drink and breathe Orange, have multiple season tickets, etc. and then are placed in a position where you have to choose between a game and the most important holiday of the year for your faith.

The regularity of this potential conflict is not as regular as the original post guessed.
