Southern Pigskin on ND to ACC

[rrlbees]

No it's not.

UT.

I agree, although I don't think it would ever happen. But IF it did...WOW.

Obviously.

But do you agree with my statement? That we would be, more than likely, at a 2:1 disadvantage due to the secondary market sales?

I know you wouldn't, I wouldn't and most people on this board wouldn't sell their tix to a ND fan, but if we are being honest, this will happen.

I seriously doubt that, unless the premium was ridiculous. If SU is playing real well, then people won't unload them, and maybe SU fans will be buying on the secondary market as well.

Each school would get 46.5 thousand. And even at 2:1 there would still be 30K SU fans, I my guess it would be more like a 60/40 split at worst.

:bang:

We will never play a conference home basketball game at MSG not only because we could get 30k plus at the Dome for those better games but also because there will be 13 other games outside of the ACC conference games that we can schedule at MSG.

In football, with 9 of 12 games being conference games and 1 of 12 games being against an FCS team that only leaves 2 OOC games to schedule home and homes series with to allow for one game at MetLife every other year. And scheduling OOC games as it is in college football is a nightmare, especially since the bulk of them fall in the month of September when college football fever is at its lowest ebb.

If we are truly going to continue with the NYC football experiment (and I'm not sure we will, but if we do), ND or an ACC conference game will have to remain a viable option in some (but not all) of those every other year commitment.

maybe it's just my paranoid side but I fear what the Dr. agreed to as a quid pro quo with SU's ACC invite.

We will never, ever, do better than a 2:1 disadvantage of fans in NYC against ND. UGA/FL and UT/OU are terrible comparisons. Both fanbases can fill any venue.

And I don't know how to put this any more bluntly, but college football will never be the game in town while there is pro football, pro baseball, etc.

Thinking big is improving Syracuse as Syracuse's team. Trying to pull in a market that doesn't care about college football...especially SU football, is never going to work. You can't be thinking big when you can't fill your own stadium at home.

Just win baby.

If true, so what.

between 13 and 17 M increase in just TV money alone.

If a game vs. Duke/UNC is scheduled in MSG, the reaction will be 100x what the USC discontent was. SU hoops is in a different place that SU football. If SU hoops wants to think of itself as elite it has to act that way. Duke/UNC would never move a conference home game vs. SU to Charlotte. I hope the good Dr. was wise enough to realize that and not give away a 32K+ home game.

A bit late to the thread, but there may just be enough people in NYC that want to see UND lose to help boost the "pro-syracuse" (or "anyone but notre dame") crowd

 

[riskylogic]

No it's not.

UT.

Doesn't count. UT wouldn't need ND pull.

The especially good reason for that is that the gate isn't going to be any bigger.

Well, realism is important. To act as if Cuse football is in the same place as Cuse or UNC or Dook basketball would be to embrace fairy land.

The question should be: what would Syracuse gain from playing in NYC every year, with ND the foe half the time?

 

[WoadBlue]

No it's not.

UT.

ND might like to play Texas once in a while, but ND prefers to play in Dallas than in Austin.
