that was a ? from SEC poster in another thread.
So I started looking at OOC sch.
now here is reason BE should guarentee BYU money
BYU has OOC home sch of Tex, GaT & Utah,
along with thier conf sch, that 11 games of national intrest.
BE [13]also has 11 OOC games for national TV, BE also has to sch more OOC games for TV, by getting rid of 1AA games. also shows a need to spread out OOC thru the season
Now BE would have one ND game under contract with Navy,
would ND play at another BE school every other yr.
wouldn't that be worth 20 million a yr to TV contract.
I would think NBC would like NE games as lead in for ND.
Another ? I got is, 5 days around Labour day BE is absent,
BE has to sch games for this window

reading that was like getting my eyes poked with nails.

I have no idea what I just read????

Holy smokes did your keyboard just vomit? I had to bailout about 1/3 of the way through.

Never fear Good Citizens of Big East General Conference Talk.
I have done the translation for you.

Translation Follows

Does the Big East have eight much less twenty games of National interest?
That was a question from an SEC user in another thread.

So I [templefootballfan], started looking at the out of conference (OOC) schedule

The reason that the Big East should guarantee BYU money follow is that BYU has an OOC home schedule of Texas, Georgia Tech, and Utah, these games combined with their conference schedule gives us 11 games of national interest.

The current 13 members of the Big East also have to have 11 OOC for national TV, as well as schedule more OOC games for TV, get rid of FBS games and spread OOC games throughout the season.

The Big East would have one Notre Dame game under contract with Navy, so would Notre Dame play at another Big East school every other year? Wouldn't that be worth 20 million a year in a TV contract? I would think NBC would like a Big East (Translators Note: Assuming typo) game as a lead in game for the Notre Dame game.

Another question (sic) I have is, during a five day period around Labor Day the Big East is absent. The Big East has to schedule games during this period.

(Translators Final Note: OP provided no information on how he game to those conclusions, nor was there sufficient context clues to make an educated guess, apologies)

Those are actually pretty good thoughts once translated.

Yes they are. Delin needs to be on staff.

Not yet we don't. But it's like tossing a bunch of new teams into a conference, the rivalries and animosity isn't there yet. I'm sure in 5 years or so we could come up with a lot of awesome match ups. Until then, we'll have to build up the conference.

Please don't hate me, being as objective as possible

ND @ Navy... yes
Louisville vs BSU... yes
Louisville vs Cincinnati... yes/maybe
USF vs UCF... at some point in the future yes, but now no
Houston vs SMU yes/maybe

I think over time you'll see more worthy national matchups. Also a matchup between 2 ranked BE teams late in the season should provide national interest. See Rutgers vs Louisville from a few years back as an example.

I do think that Rutgers vs Temple could be another potential big game every year. Memphis vs Louisville/Cincy also has great potential. Its really about building and rebuilding previous rivalries.

Another thing to take account for is team #14. I think Air Force vs BSU and Navy are instant National Interest games. While BYU could also provide a spark in this department.

I also don't much about OOC games off the top of my head.

BYU isn't going to continue playing a lineup of Tex, GTech, and Utah if they join the Big East. Look for more of Utah, Utah St, and another low-level team.

Thank you broncofan, that's my point, playing with sch makes your TV contract worth more money.
conf sch is what it is, OOC sch can be improved to make more money

Rutgers is playing Arkansas next year and that's not exactly chopped liver.

I agree with the above. NBE needs time to develop its football brand and its programs to be competitive BCS levels. The investments are in place...

TU-RU could definitely be a game of national interest eventually. Temple and Rutgers are both nearing 40k students if I'm not mistaken, putting them amongst the largest universities on the East Coast. Temple from my understanding (and vice their publicity) is actually doing alright financially and is going to keep throwing money into football.

National interest is garnered by winning. USC vs UCLA is a good rivalry but outside of southern cal few care because it has had little national impact. Even less interest would be OleMiss vs MissState.

So rivalries are important locally,but if you want national attention you must win.

yeah Cuban, but they both get on TV,
Right now best rivalry game BE has
USF-UCF
Hous-SMU
Boise-SDST
Navy-AF [maybe]

Let's not put too much pressure on ourselves. We don't have to match 1971's Nebraska-Oklahoma "Game-of-the-Century" every week. We just have to show good, competitive games between two pretty good teams.

The B1G has showcased Illinois-Northwestern on national TV and that wasn't exactly a barn burner ... did anyone outside of Illinois care about that? The PAC 16 gave us Arizona-Arizona State and no one outside of Arizona gave a rat's a$$ about that game.

yes you do need game of the century every week if you want the money
BE has to maximize is OOC sch in both BB & FB

Belive me, there is NO rivalry between BSU and SDSU, we have played ONE time in our history. BSU would be BYU and SDSU would be FSU. The again all three, BSU, SDSU and FSU hate BYU with a passion.

The best thing for the Big East to do is schedule good to tough OOG games and win. Winning cures all ills and beating name brand teams will always draw attention. Beating Michigan State will draw attention in the media, beating Kentucky is like beating up your little brother (ask Louisville, no credit for the wins, just a W). Beating Oregon State is not the same as beating UCLA, far more recognition for a UCLA win.

Rutgers playing Arkansas and winning would be a huge lift (no pressure, guys). Beating Vanderbuilt, ho hum. You will not always be able to schedule kings (ask BSU) but beating teams everyone perceives as good teams will do wonders for garnering attention.

I like the idea of dropping the FCS games, at least some years. (I am assuming the OP meant to drop FCS games as dropping FBS games would make you FCS)

Uconn vs. Michigan and Uconn vs. Tennessee will be national games. If two BE teams are good and playing each other on TV, there will be national interest.
