With all the new CUSA and SBC programs out there that will accept a 1 for 1, Ohio shouldn't have to continue to put FCS schools on the schedule. They can play Charlotte or New Mexico State for an easy win. Try to have the biggest schools that will make their way to Peden Stadium on the schedule.
Huh? I think you lost me. You're saying Ohio should give up the FCS games and go back to 5 game home schedules?
I get what he's saying. You can schedule 1 for 1s with the low level FBS schools and work the schedule to still get 6 games at home. It shouldn't be that difficult. So instead of getting an FCS at home every year Ohio should be able to schedule a NMSU, South Alabama, Georgia State, etc. while also playing one of those on the road.
No, you can't. It's not mathematically possible without giving up the money game each year. If you play a money game each year, you have eleven games left. If all those are 1:1 games, then you will end up with 5 1/2 home games per year. That would mean 6 games half the years, and 5 games the rest.
If you give up the money game, then yes, you can have 6 homes games every year with all the series being 1:1, but then you also have a $600,000 hole in the budget.
The easiest way to think of this is to think of the Money Game/FCS game as a pair, making it just another 1:1, except bringing in a net $600,000 profit.
