The comment I left over there.  BTW, I have no inside info on this topic:

[I]John, remember Cuse might be delaying on purpose. We have all heard that the Dome decision is expected to be made during the May Board of Trustees meeting. If they pick the "heavy" Dome renovation option (vs. Light reno or build new elsewhere) it would be a no brainer to only find homes for 5 home games (MetLife, Yankee Stadium, UBuffalo, Cornell, etc…) instead of 6 or 7. I would be supportive for SU to have 7 road games in 2017. Talking to a few construction guys they think the ’17 FB season would be not possible at the Dome…I.E. cranes need to be but in the middle of the Dome for superstructure work. Instead of playing non conference team "X" in front of 16k in Buffalo…just punt and get more home games from ’18 outwards.

Our options will open up if we go to a MAC, SunBelt, CUSA, AAC team that we would like to play away in ‘17 with a return game or two in Cuse. I would pick the worst of the bunch to play away. We should stay away from G5 teams that could beat us. Coastal Carolina, LA-Monroe, LA-Lafayette (BTW, great Cajun Food there), BGSU all sound good. We might be able to get another G5 school to move a game in order to get a P5 team (Cuse) at their stadium in ’17 too. I wouldn’t be opposed to a 3 to 5 game series with any G5 school in a good recruiting area or primo fan destination.[/I]
