I thought road games vs non P4 were banned.

Why would we not try for 7 homes and flip those to one and one vs both road?

Edit
Maybe cuz BC road in 2028? Really wish we split BC and Pitt road years.

Not sure where you heard that. Is that an ACC rule? I checked, and Duke has future games at UConn, Tulane and Temple. UNC plays at Charlotte and UConn. Just two examples.

Yes it was a supposed ACC rule but I don’t think it was a hardline. Just like the OOC P4 requirement

Anyone else see a major issue?

I don't mind playing at Yukon. Great tailgating set up, winnable game in an area Cuse recruits for students and players.

Plus many fans can make it a long day and save on motel $$$

Good. It's nice to play teams in our region.

Yes, looks like best case, we have 6 home games in.2027.

To me, any year we do not have at least 7 home games, it is a failure.

I like playing UConn regularly. We need games against teams we can beat regularly. We need road games the fan base can easily drive to.

But doing things like booking a road game to UNLV to replace a home game with Army, with no return game in Syracuse, leads to years like this. I remain disappointed in our poor scheduling.

To me, if we continue to be willing to play UConn each season, with some games scheduled in November ( they need games in November badly), we should get 3 home games to 2 road games for them. We need to start scheduling like a P5 program.

I thought that was the plan under the new group 4 . It wasn't set in stone.

 

[TexanMark]

It does look like we are getting more home games than Yukon

Regional cupcake, no brainer.

 

[Chip]

Good. It's nice to play teams in our region.

Personally, I'd prefer to get Temple back on the schedule if we're going to do non-P4 home and homes. Nice big NFL stadium with easy access, easy tailgating and plenty to do after the game. In what is supposed to be a hotbed of recruiting for us.

Of course, I say this knowing nothing about how Temple feels about playing us.

Agree. Seems like we keep throwing UConn a bone since they need games yet we don’t get much in return.

I rather play Temple any day. Even Delaware too.

I like playing UConn but they shouldn’t be exclusive. Not like they bring fans or our home fans care either.

Away Sept 10, 22
Home Nov 23, 24
Home Sept 6, 25
Away Oct 3, 26

sutomcat is correct
