sacs- The problem with making so many of the games on home turf is that you will run into "blizzard" like games. Part of the reason that so many fans travel to bowl games is the fact that most of them are in sunny Flordia or Arizona. Most fans don't want to sit out in that kind of cold in the begining of December and you know all of the southern and cali schools would complain of the weather and travel across the nation in just a week. The "midwest" is about half way any which way you look at. Domes make it nice and comfy. Let me put a disclaimer here, FOOTBALL WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED OUTSIDE IN THE ELEMENTS. But you know that TV, and some conferences are going to gripe about having to be outside in that.
My thoughts on the smaller conferences, play better competion if you don't want to get left out. It happened to Miami a couple of years ago for scheduling McNesse St instead of a decent school. That is also going to mean that you are most likely going to have to trade a 2 for 1 but look how much better that turned out for SDSU, they made money as do tOSU. I am not even suggesting scheduling tOSU or even the "big dogs" but would people have felt worse for TCU this year if say they had even a MSU, or OkSU on their schedule beat them and then lost in their conference. The approach that I like best is to be the best you have to play the best.
The problem though that I have seen in my plan in the prior thread that this is talked about in is cutting the season. The AD and admins don't want to give up that $$$ that they get guarnteed to get with a home game say at the Shoe or even the Swamp.
