Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3193695, member: 1414"] I think independence can work. Of the independent schools, we have the best brand aside from BYU. We also have basketball and women’s basketball to offer in trade. That can earn us some home and homes. I expect Fox to try to help us here, and push some of their schools to schedule us. A formal scheduling deal with the B1G would be ideal, say 3 games a year. Then play a payday game like our Clemson game once a year. Tulsa just signed an 8 year home and home with Ok State. We need to do that with Penn State and include basketball. Rutgers too. Indiana. Kansas. There are schools that will play us, especially if we become competitive. Winning as an independent is sexier than winning in a meh conference. Not saying the American was meh. Benedict is going to have to be aggressive, but this can work. It’s a bridge to whatever comes next, but losing in the AAC wasn’t helping our brand. Going 6-5 Indy looks better. [/QUOTE]
