When they do it has been NCST, UVA, UNC and ECU. We are all easy drives for South Carolina fans and alumni that live in the SC, NC, VA area in large numbers.
Listening to South Carolina officials including Spurrier they know that if they want to get into the 4 team Playoff that they have to schedule a semi decent OOC outside of the SEC and not scrubs or just FCS cupcakes. South Carolina looks at ECU as a school that will not hurt their SOS most years but who based on history feel like they can beat us with regularity. It also helps our stadium holds 50K and will probably grow a little in the near future so we can assure South Carolina the same amount of tickets that most SEC schools provide them with in the 5-6k range if the demand is there.

For the UC fan on here it would seem a no brainer for Ohio St and Michigan to schedule a G5 school of the calibre of Cincinnati home and home to not harm their SOS and give their fans a decent away game to road trip to.

Michigan and Ohio State both have over 100,000 seat stadiums, so I think is safe to say they probably take in around $10 million or more for a home game and you think it would be a no brainer for them to give that up to play at Cincy. Wow.
