re: Saban Publicly Supports 9 Game Schedule

The one and only down side is that you'll have one less home game every other season. From a revenue standpoint, the new TV money will way more than offset one game's gate.

Well. You have to think of it as half a game for most, but in reality, a whole game for teams with a neutral site game and a permanent home and home, specifically Georgia and Florida. Those teams also make a lot more than most from gate revenue. I think there is legitimate concern from each of those schools going from 7-8 games a year to 6-7 games a year. It is what it is. I hope we go to a 9 game schedule, and A&M has a neutral site game with Arky, and at some point we will have tu back on the schedule, so we would be in the same boat as Florida and Georgia. O well. 9 games is better for everyone, imo.
