...for only scheduling one FCS school the next four years.

Wish Ohio would look to this philosophy. I also understand that EMU is broke and need the money from payday games.

They have Army on the docket. Would love for us to schedule any of the service academies. Have we ever?

South Carolina paid UMass $1.5M to play them in football this year, we need to call the Gamecocks.

You'd rather give up a home game and play 5 game home schedules with 7 on the road? That's certainly possible, but I wonder how the Athens business community would feel about it, given that home games have been estimated to bring 1/2 million dollars or so into the Athens economy.

Note that you can replace the home FCS game with a home-away series, and get 5 1/2 games a year, or with a paid road game, and get 5 home games a year. EMU seems you have done a mix. As you'd expect, they will have 6 home games the year where they have the FCS game. For the three seasons with no FCS game, they will have six one of the them, and fine home games twice, so they are at 5 1/3 home games when not playing an FCS team.
