Or maybe it had more to do with the ACC gouging Maryland for $30+M to leave... which is also why I doubt you'll ever see UNC become a part of the Big Ten and have to give some of that $30+M back to the Terps as an entry fee.

I knew that 9-game B1G schedule excuse was pure BS. Games v UNC would help us more in recruiting so I don't understand this. Gene sucks

How was it BS, we replaced an away game with UNC for a home game to keep the number home games at 7. The 9 game Big Ten schedule already has us playing 5 road games so playing at UNC would have made 6 away games and 6 home games.

how does it help OSU to play a mid-pack ACC team? It would be fun, IF they're any good by the time it happens, which is a total crapshoot (and they've been nothing but inconsistent lately)

I don't get UNC... they're small fish even if they are ACC. We wouldn't get the same credit for beating them as FSU or Miami would get (see Cal last year)
Wasn't Georgia sacrificed as part of the attempted scheduling agreement with the PAC.. which the PAC backed out of?
That said, quality of major OOC opponents has dropped since the times of Texas and USC.

I like playing them as a second team. Yes UGA was a PAC-B1G challenge casualty. (Tenn may have been as well, I don't recall the specifics for why that was cancelled).

I think they've been pretty consistent in scheduling top teams over a two decade span, they just had a 3 year lull of weak sauce. Miami, Texas (games 3 & 4), Oregon, Va Tech (at the time), Oklahoma, TCU is a pretty solid lineup, especially since UGA & Tenn used to be there.


Texas wasn't close to Oklahoma, USC, Miami, Va Tech at the time of the scheduling, yet they'll likely dwarf every other team by a large margin.

Quality or perception? It all depends when the games are played. If Texas and USC had been played the last four years instead of Miami and Cal, would they still be as big of games as they were when played? Ohio State can't control the ups and downs of other teams. This is the risk you take when games are scheduled so far in advance. Cal was a respectable team when the game was scheduled.

That much is clear.

With the 9-game schedule, every other year the Buckeyes would play five games on the road in the B1G. Because home games are so lucrative for Ohio State, you're not going to see them play more than that number of road games in a season unless it is a true marquee OOC opponent. North Carolina is not a marquee opponent. They are a basketball school. They weren't replaced with a marquee opponent, but they converted a road game to a home game.

Playing UNC hardly benefits recruiting. Sure, the Buckeyes are going to want to recruit in that state, but you can't host visitors when you're on the road.

UNLV has $1.3 million reasons for Ohio State road trip

money.jpg


Thursday it was announced that Ohio State had scheduled a 2018 game against fellow Power Five member Oregon State. At the same time, it was also announced that OSU would play a 2017 game against UNLV.

Both of those games will be played in Ohio Stadium. While we don’t yet know the Beavers’ motive for the one-off game, we certainly know the Rebels’.

In a press release, UNLV confirmed that the football Rebels will travel to Columbus for a Sept. 23, 2017, game against the Buckeyes. The school also confirmed that the athletic department has been guaranteed $1.3 million from OSU for the game.

UNLV states that the $1.3 million guarantee is the program’s biggest payout ever. The sum that OSU trumps? The $1 million guarantee UNLV will receive for traveling to the Big House to face Michigan in 2015.
