“They schedule these games so the money stays in the state.”

That’s about the weakest excuse I could ever imagine to try to explain away Youngstown State, Kent State, and Akron in the same season. For a top program? I wonder if there has ever been anything like it.......outside of the SEC of course.

It’s not an excuse. It is the reality. Take it up with the OSU athletic department.

I’m not an OSU fan and I personnally believe the best game would be LSU OU but I would like to offer this. I don’t know if this is the case with OSU but in Oklahoma, the state legislature gets involved in scheduling. For example, both OSO (Oklahoma State) and OU must play the University of Tulsa every other year, ie, Tulsa play OSU one year and OU the next. I belive this is a state law designed to bring respect (money) to the Tulsa program.
