First off I don't know why the quote thing didn't work, my bad on that.
 
SU won't get 48k period if they schedule like they have been.  Maybe if they get Texas to come and they bring 10k but those days are gone when it comes to playing 10-11 aq's and winning 8 or more game, it's going to be harder to do in the ACC.  I get the attendance thing and SU is between a rock and a hard place with it. 
 
It seems that people get attendance mixed up with actually going out and beating somebody away from home.  LSU did it vs Washington but no other SEC is doing it out of what, 14?  The ACC, Big East and Pac 12 travel while the SEC stays in their comfortable dens and completely control their environment.  I get the southern passion for football and admire it but just because they can get people to show up and we don't, it doesn't show an apples to apples comparison either because of how they manipulate their schedules.  Yes, the SEC did well last bowl season but were 500 the year before.  Let's get one to come up to play in the Pinstripe Bowl this winter and see how that goes.
 
As for the father in law guy, he is involved with scheduling and is quite up to date regarding this stuff.  He runs some kind of efficiency/patterns type of business in Manhattan and believe me, knows his stuff.  He isn't some older guy shaking his fist and yelling about the good old days and I wish I could get him on here because the guy is brilliant.
