At present, only one ND game is sold out.

Name that opponent.

Who cares?

Speaking of, I betcha Jeff Brohm really wishes he went to Louisville now. And every year that goes on I think that will only get worse.

TV. Rivalry games, and I mean actual rivalry games, draw in TV fans believe it or not.

But, I'll let you guys continue to fantasize about Notre Dame and Penn State.

Spot on. TV ratings for more interesting games is the strongest argument for WVU. If we could add them as 15 and quit there, going divisonless with 9 conference games (4 permanent and 5 rotating), we'd end up with a markedly better TV inventory and another football program that actually expends effort in the moneymaking sport.

How long do other teams have to sell their away game allotments?

If I were certain ND would win I would take my son to see the UNC game. But I just can't risk that much consternation on the way back home, I might drown us in the Ohio River.
