Maybe it's just me, but I'm a huge fan of home and home games vs. two good opponents, but I guess the powers that be know more than me.

I agree, so it's not just you. The lack of home and home games is all 'bout the money. In a neutral game, I think the money is split between the 2 teams and I also think there's some SWAG for the players/coaches. The lack of an extra home game, even when it's against Pottawattamie State, means a loss of revenue as fans will come even to games like that. Only way it'll change is if fans stop attending those games...and I don't see that happening...

I miss the old days as far as scheduling goes. I remember one year, back in the 80's I believe, where we played Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Penn State in the same year...and under the Bear in the 70's we played Nebraska, Missouri, USC, Washington, and Virginia Tech in the same year...alas those days are long gone...
