NO more home and home games

[2clones4cy]

I know the schedule for this year was set in 1800BC!!! But with this year as well as all other years, why do we not have 7 home games? I mean cant we buy out Tulsa as well as were going to Akron in 2017 and I haven't looked any further. You would think with CPR's job on the line Pollard would want us to have more home games which god forbid we tailgate in nice weather for 50% of the games!! I understand at the time of scheduling we didn't have quite as much money as we do now but its time to cut the losses and do all home games unless its a power 5 team (which we better not do that)WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET!!!! Will we ever get this or are we scheduled too far out for this?

At least make it a destination game instead of TULSA or AKRON!!!

Wow, forgot there are only 6 games this year. Really not worth the price increase now.

Pay the money to avoid these games if you're that serious about it.

The big money schools are all in these deals anymore. Welcome to the brave new world.

Yup. Price increase plus fewer games. Yay

Agree. It costs a lot of money to not have a return game with these smaller schools and that is why ISU is doing the home and home games. If you don't want that to happen then you need to donate more. The home and home is done purely for financial reasons. I'm sure Jamie would love to have 7 home games but we can't afford to schedule the teams without doing a home and home.

Are they still doing the 2 for 1s, like they have in the past. That is a better deal for ISU.

 

[CYCLNST8]

& schedule teams we can actually beat. That'd be nice too.

Guess we were all dumb to buy season tickets. AD now makes about the same on those whether there's 6 or 7 games.

Take it up with JP then...


dont need to keep beating the dead horse.

It's simple... It would cost ISU more money to pay a school to come here for one game then they would make for having that one extra game, especially when season ticket prices don't change based on having just 6 games.

It looks like our future nonconference away games (other than Iowa) will be @ San Jose St (2017 or 2019), Akron (2017 or 2019) and UNLV (2021). Two out of three destinations aren't too bad.
