Hypothetically possible?
Let’s say FSU went Independent and was able to put their non revenue sports into the Sun Belt conference. Is there anything to prevent FSU from scheduling 12 home games in a season? Obviously this would mean scheduling teams exclusively from the FCS level and lower tier G5 conferences.

You wouldn't necessarily have to have no P5 teams. LSU paid Oregon State $3.5mil a while ago to have a one and done @LSU. But yeah, you could have 12 home games if you could afford it. No rule against it.

You would kiss goodby any chance of ever playing in the playoffs again with a schedule like that. Plus you would be writing a lot of checks to lower tier schools for them to be whooping boys for the program.

Was not sure if there was a rule against it. Has it been tried? BYU seems like they are in a good position to try something like that.

Who’s going to watch those games, either in person or on TV? What bowl game could such a team play in? All the bowl games have conference links other than the playoffs and you couldn’t possibly make the playoffs with such a schedule.

FSU fans look down their nose at an ACC schedule, they wouldn't draw 15k a game for a slate of buy games, and nobody is going to make that trip 12 times. Tallahassee is terrible to travel to.

Plus, UM and UF wouldn't agree to that, so you'd dump your two biggest rivals.

This is one of the craziest things I've seen posted sincerely (if it was), and that's saying something.

It would kill your other sports too.

If you did that to your FB team you might as well chop the top 50 rows off at Doak Campbell as you will have a football slate full of dreck. No P5 team would want to only play at Tally.

Actually, BYU is in a terrible position to try something like that. Along with everybody else. BYU has a contract directly with ESPN to televise a few of their home games each season. ESPN will have demands in that contract regarding the quality of opponents. If BYU pulled something like that, which they won't, it would be a breach of contract and ESPN would end their work with BYU.

Agree. Hey, I've got an idea. Let's hijack this thread and turn it into more ACC division fantasies. I mean, it's been 24 hours and we haven't seen another 200 dumb ideas of things that are never going to happen yet.

I’ve been haunting these boards for over 15 years. Trust me when I say it’s not even close to some of the stuff posted on the Big East Expansion Board. There were a couple of guys on that board convinced The Big East could raid The SEC.

Is not BYU’s contract in negotiation with ESPN? If that is the case then it would expire soon and not be a breach in contract. Never said playing 12 homes would be a good idea otherwise someone would have done it already.

I imagine ESPN's negotiations with BYU will either:

1) delay until they both get a better idea what the AAC's plans are moving forward

or

2) if extended, include language that the contract is of course voided if BYU FB moves to the AAC


Dear Buddha, please help us get through these draining dog daze of summer.
