For you tight wad non ASOR Club members - this post wont make much sense - for all others - I actually like the potential game change - 2023 schedule is a snoozer and it would add a P5 - we have a tough enough one for 2020 for where we are as a program for now and the trade gets us another home game in 23 that, for whatever reason, has been a tough schedule to fill out. The remaining unfilled game - based on the other low end teams we have scheduled would be one where i say go play a top 15 program that year even a top 5 just to add some intrigue for recruits. Would be a perfect ND game or a GA,BAMA, FL,game the week of their normal FCS scrimmages. IF we were playing our normal 4 P5 in 2023 - I wouldn’t say that - but it is a schedule that we should be Bowl eligible by week 7 or 8 and not very appealing to fan base. I still maintain my overall philosophy for 2026 on 7 P5 or equivalent games- but with lower tiered P5 schools and maybe 1 top 10 a year...But for 2020 i agree with the philosophy is rumor is true.
