If we schedule against Big 12 foes at their place in the future, we will have 1,000 less tickets. We've already got a future roadies with Mizzou and Texas Tech. http://www.newson6.com/story/35853868/big-12-policy-change-opens-up-more-season-tickets
This also obviously affects whatever money we might make on those 1,000 fewer tickets available to be sold. Sure, not much; but, when you have a budget as small as ours, every dollar does count.
So...does this make Big 12 schools less attractive for scheduling?
You've got many P5 schools now getting 7 or 8 homes games. How long do the G5s just hang on with the P5s? I think the AAC and MWC might hang in there for the long haul. The rest of us, I'm just not sure. If all P5 commit to 7 or 8 home games, you can kiss future hopes of home-and-home from even smaller P5s goodbye.
So...maybe it's "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death" after all.
