But there is no definitive way of knowing this, is there? I mean we can't tell how many recruits may (or may not) have been lost.

considering we've hauled in a top 4 class the last 5 years, with more being ranked 1/2 than ranked 3/4, I think we can say the impact has been minimal. If we were ranking in the 30s or something sure it'd be more of a debate, but are we really going to try to dissect how we may have gone from a 3rd ranked clas to a 2nd ranked class if we had 1 more weekend?

I highly doubt guys that don't come here are doing so because they didn't get to see us play that game at home. And what's often overlooked in this is that eveyr other year we have to go to gainesville. It's such a negligble change in exchange for 1 extra weekend.

I don't think that is the only reason. I just think it is one of the reasons. Most of the neutral site games are games that would not be played if not played at a neutral site

but again, kirby makes it sounds like the sole reason we need to move from jax is to get 1 extra recruting weekend. We've played colorado, arizona state, OkSt, and clemson home and home this century. We've had H/H scheduled wiht Oregon and Ohio State that were canceled, and have/had future H/H scheduled with OU/Texas/FSU/UCLA that who knows how those stand anymroe. The point is that you can schedule a marquee game and not HAVE to have it be at a netural site.
