    Playing "Up" and Playing "Down"

    I like playing a game "Up" to FBS once a year but no more.  I hate playing "down" to D-II.   

    How about some more games against Dayton, Fordham and more teams from Patriot and Pioneer Conferences?

    I know FBS games help with athletic department budget, but if we could just do one that’d be great

    Re: Playing "Up" and Playing "Down"

    I agree with these posts. Let's just grab the best paycheck we can for 1 game only. Zero or 1 lower division game only. I realize that really narrows the field, but as was pointed out, why not Dayton and Fordham? Use our A10 leverage somehow. We communicate with these teams a lot. I've got a personal one, Bucknell. We had a great football and basketball rivalry on the brink of happening, and now we don't play them in either sport. How would a game together not be a good thing for both of them? Just get it done.

    One FBS game is fine. Two or more guaranteed losses on the schedule each year can’t be good for the kids confidence. This weekends game is going to be a bloodbath.
