And given the opportunity, would it be in UC's best interest to seek a commitment for a return home game periodically? I'm sure OSU would specify it be played at PBS. As a season ticket holder, I don't have a problem with that given both the incremental revenue and exposure.

We need quality regional matchups, pre-conference, and Miami (OH) doesn't cut it anymore in that regard. If OSU doesn't want to continue the series, I'm fine with that and we simply move on building an excellent program.

Thoughts?

I like the idea of the series, but there is no way we'll get a regular return game. Best case scenario with them is probably a 3-2 with one of our two games being played in PBS, so basically what we had previously, and they'd just buy out the game at Nippert. Only way we change that is if we end up in a different conference or in the Top 20 every year for the next half decade.

I'd do a 3-2 setup in a heartbeat provided the first game was at Nippert and the 4th game was at PBS. I wouldn't play them exclusively in Columbus anymore. It will never happen that way though.
