Non-Conference Game Criteria

I'm interpreting that as a road game for any non-conference opponent. So, intead of going to Nebraska can we hitch a ride to a closer venue?

Yeah looks right based on that language. My guess is no one in the ACC will want to play us and will instead play smaller schools as practice dummies - and there will be political pressure to play the directional in-state schools. I think when these conference plans all fall apart that schools should instead individually schedule best of 5 rivalry games that are played over 7 or 8 weeks. I think TV would pay a pretty penny for Michigan/OSU playing a 5 game series. Would limit the "pod" and mixing of players each week and could be spaced out to allow teams to recover from getting hit by the virus.
