Thanks for the clarification, BB73. On top of things, as usual.

If they want any shot at being a part of the BCS they need to scheulde non-conferene games against BCS conferences, and win!

There was a post earlier in this threa that speculated that one contributory cause of the scheduling refusals was Louisville's request that the games be home-and-home, which would lead to poor returns in the cramped confines of Papa John.
EDIT - The actual post was from DaddyBigBucks in the Louisville Bandwagon thread.

Obviously something could be worked out financially; but you would think that if Louisville were willing to pony up that kind of dough on a regular basis, they would just build a bigger house.
