Write a letter to the AD.
Complaining on these boards isn't helping. Just be happy football is back. I'm happy to play FIU today. Not because of the matchup, but it's football.
UCF used to beg USF for home and home games when it was CUSA vs Big East. It's too soon to be hypocritical about the FIU-UCF series.

To have a fellow G5 conference such as the AAC act as if they are above playing us is certainly no big deal to us. I'm not sure ODU could fit you into their schedule anyway other than the series already scheduled with ECU.
I'd agree to play UCONN or Cinci if they agreed to a basketball series as well. Otherwise forget it, we're already playing an FCS school every year there's no point in watering down our schedule anymore.

This works if the American wishes to go to 9-10 conference games a year.

I'd rather pick up a game vs any of Memphis/Houston/Navy/Tulsa/Tulane/SMU than play UMass, Villanova, or Buffalo.

It doesn't fit the financial models of AAC programs to buy single games vs. G4 opponents. We simply don't have $800,000-$1.2 million in guarantee money to pay a Kent State for example. Clemson does. Some of the SEC programs do. A Michigan does. An Ohio State does. That's why UCF plays FIU home and home. When ODU was an FCS member, ECU payed them for a single game (in 2013). Same thing when App. State was an FCS member (in 2009 and 2012 iirc). But we can't do that now with them being FBS members. Because the market rate for such games is much higher now.
keep everything relative. $100k is close to half each school's entire TV deal for the CUSA and sunbelt.
$100k one and dones........ they will drool

I agree with this. I wouldn't have a problem with 9 conference games because of it.

Talk to your Athletic Director. This may be a trend to consider if schools from the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, etc... stop visiting our home stadiums.

Why can't you schedule home and home games with those conferences? ODU has home games with the following over the next few seasons -
2017 - UNC
2018 - VA Tech
2020 - UNC, Wake Forrest, UVA ... (one or two more ACC home games and we would have the same amount as their conference members).

Like I said, throw in a h&h for basketball and maybe we can work something out. In UCONNs case you may have to sweeten the pot with some women's bb games

RE: We should end home and homes with the G4
Iam a Houston cougar fan and an AAC fan and I say play any body anytime anywhere kind of thing, all this snobbery about playoff teams play only other playoff conference teams or AAC teams never play other non playoff conference teams is stupid
I'd like to see all the non playoff conferences get a lot more competitive
Gleefully wishing for the demise of the sunbelt or C-USA is just like all these playoff conference people that don't want to play our half of FBS teams, nick saben has said this much and his is a sick short little pig suffering from a short man complex
Iam 54 and Iam a man!, at least my girlfriend thinks so...
