Syracuse is not well positioned to out bid schools like Ohio State and Michigan for home onlys or 2 for 1s.

I agree.  This is exactly with we did with Liberty.

2 for 1s are important for us to get us to our goal of playing 7 home games every season.

2 for 1s are not easy to get.  If we can get them where the away game is played in an area where we recruit and an area where we have a strong fan presence, to me, it is a no brainer.  I think if MAC schools sign up for 2 for 1s or away onlys, they are going to prefer to do it with nearby P5 schools (i.e. B1G schools).  Our best bet to get 2 for 1s are schools like UMass, UConn, UB and Temple.  Schools that are close by and play at the FBS level.

If we can't get these schools, look to book 2 for 1s with MAC schools.  Hopefully ones that are close by or near Chicago or Detroit.

Army and Navy would be great but I think their cache as military academies that is going to allow them to consistently schedule home and homes with P5 schools.  I would be shocked if we were able to get a 2 for 1 with each of them.

I think it would be a good move to see if we can get 2 for 1s with FIU or/and FAU.  USF too for that matter (I doubt they would do it but it can't hurt to ask).
