LU would make more TV $ dropping the Thanksgiving week home game and playing in Dallas ( a lot more $ ) . There are a lot of LU alumni that will go to Dallas that won’t go to Lynchburg ( which is a tough trip from west of The Mississippi ). BUT no big deal, odds of either team pursuing it pretty slim. Maybe we throw some $ at BYU for a normal home and home and get them to the table every year. I hope Ian is looking at BC,TCU,Baylor,Northwestern for series.
Texas v Oklahoma @ Dallas
Army v Navy @ Philadelphia
Illinois v Missouri @ St Louis
Colorado v Colorado st @ Denver
Georgia v Florida @ Jacksonville
Having each team travel almost a thousand miles for a regular season game just doesn't make sense to me.
