I understand why we try to be competitive with the ACC by maximizing cash inflow even if there is no hope of getting to the SEC/B1G level, but as a fan I really don't give a shit about it.
Here's BU home schedules for 2025-2027.
2025: Auburn, Samford, Arizona State, Kansas State, UCF, Utah, Houston
2026: PVA&M, SMU, Colorado, Texas Tech, TCU, Iowa State
2027: Incarnate Word, Oregon, Arizona, Oklahoma State, Cincinnati, West Virginia, UCF
2025 is 1 home game against a rival (UH is a meh rival currently but I'll count it and it should get better with time), 2026 is a good home schedule for BU, and 2027 features 1 home game against a Texas school and that is Incarnate Word. We aren't winning a MNC and those Auburn/Oregon games will be fun, but the fact that we can't play schools like Tech, TCU (only team on BU's schedule every year), SMU, UH, and oSu every year because we have to work in more Cincinnati, Arizona, and UCF is just the dumbest timeline shit.
