USC is probably not the best barometer since it is likely TGD's past there helped cement what was the home-and-home series.  I think Gross decided to move that game to the Meadowlands on his own and that the Trojans would likely have come to the Dome to honor that contract.  But, having the game at Giants Stadium may very well get another USC-SU series a decade from now where it might not have as simply a home-and-home.
 
Until more games are scheduled though, we really have no idea how this will work out for the Orange.   We know we can get ND and PSU.  Can we get Texas, Nebraska, Michigan now as well?   If we do get them, would they have come to the Dome anyway?  Michigan signed a home-and-home with UConn after all and each of these programs have played in the Dome before.
 
Will we look foolish if these games only draw low 50Ks?  Or will we receive an artificially inflated average attendance as a result of these games every other year?
 
It will be an interesting thing to follow.
 
At some point though I envision a magical season where we are undefeated playing ND in front of 85K fans at MetLife Stadium in early November with the Empire State Building lit up in Orange and reading about our win to remain undefeated and record overnight ratings in NYC for college football the next day.  :)
