[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 247624, member: 1191"] If you add an extra P5 Home and Home, you are essentially saying GT will only have 6 home games every year. You don't make enough extra money on a single game to cover the lost revenue from a second game. While TV coverage is great, we get the same amount from the ACC regardless, so that doesn't impact the budget. Season ticket sales is a decent argument to have, but history has shown that even winning seasons and better opponents haven't moved the needle significantly for GT in those regards. So ultimately, I think you get to this: 8 conference games (4 home) Home & Home with uga (.5 home) Home & Home with P5 (.5 home) Group of 5 FBS (1 home) FCS creampuff (1 home) This is where we generally are now, with the occasional year with ND thrown in. Giving season ticket holders free tickets to the FCS game is great marketing if used by the fans. I know I always make sure my extra tickets for that game are used. [/QUOTE]
