You have a premier opponent for a Labor Day game in your own backyard at your own stadium. Every single player Rice is recruiting would go to that game.

To watch you get blown out in front of 15,000 people? WTF would that accomplish?

Quote:Will you get ESPN coverage for the game that might not have been there otherwise? Perhaps. But if I'm the AD at Rice, the home game with Stanford is my chance to show that the program can still be vibrant and that the University is an absolute jewel to recruits. To me this is a concession by the AD that football is a lost and sunken cost and if that is the case, then Rice should just drop to DIII.

Football IS a lost and sunken cost unless ways can be found to increase revenues. This is one of those.
