We disagree, and that's perfectly fine.

If it's all about the payday then let's play this out to a logical conclusion.  Let's prostitute out the football program multiple times a year.  Let's renew the Penn State series and give them the 7-3 split they wanted in the 90s.  Let's sell our BC home game to Fenway Sports Group and play there.  Let's sell our Clemson home game to some bank and play it in Charlotte.

I've said before that I'm 100% done concerning myself with the minutia of revenue and finances in college sports.  It's gross.  JW's job is to solve for that stuff while *enhancing* the fan experience.  IMHO, this game detracts from it.

As a fan it stinks to sell this game to play in a lousy stadium that we were just playing in 9 months ago.  And in a city that is super-served by the basketball program.  I'm a NYC metro alum and believe me, I have more than ample opportunities to interact with SU here.  And to be clear, I'm not going to the game.  Getting there is a colossal pain in the ass.  Sitting in 4 hours of roundtrip traffic from 45 miles away ain't worth the effort.

Lastly, they can't treat this like a bowl game.  It's in the middle of November, before Thanksgiving break. The players have classes.  I'm sure they're going to treat it like a road game in West Lafayette, Indiana -- that being, a quick business trip.
