re: Busy day at the White House

Seems like "Busy Day At The White House" would be more appropriate for Kennedy, Clinton, Harding, and/or LBJ.

You get that anyway. It just makes no sense to waste the first three weeks of a short season playing a whole bunch of games that are irrelevant. Spread them out across the schedule so that there's always a slate of good matchups every weekend.

What is the definition of a cupcake?
It literally is an opponent who is willing to visit your university for a paycheck and not demand a return visit.
You think we are going to schedule home only games with other P4 schools?
You think season ticket holders are going to give more to the university for less on return?
We already sacrifice 1 home game per year every year with the commitment to Jacksonville and the Jackets. You want to give away more?
Or are we scheduling cupcakes who don't require the return trip.
And I questioned precisely none of that. To fill the first three weeks of a fifteen week season with largely irrelevant games simply does not make for much in the way of good viewing - that's all. Understanding the why doesn't change that result. Even spreading the massacre games out across the season would make it better, since there would still be a solid slate of good games every Saturday. But to just burn 20% of the season on essentially nothing games with relatively few good matchups thrown in? Not a great plan.

I don't really think choosing to make it easier on ourselves in the 17% of games we actually do have a say in is a big deal. I'll certainly never get upset with winning football games. Sure the atmosphere and hype around playing an Ohio State or Miami to start the season is cooler than against WKU but let us lose those games and watch how quickly our fanbase doesn't think it's so cool anymore.
Not specifically talking about Georgia's scheduling - it's a problem across college football. Just watching three weeks of games where the average margin of victory is probably 40 points is not terribly interesting. 20% of the season is already gone, and there have only been a handful of meaningful games.
The game is what it is these days, and it's not changing any time soon, if ever. That said, I'd much rather watch more entertaining matchups, as opposed to sitting through a couple weeks of "Well, Wofford is down by 56 going into the half, but don't forget, they did gain 3 yards over their last four possessions, so maybe they'll have something to show in the third quarter"

The economics are what they are. On the one hand, it is helpful to smaller programs to play the sacrificial lamb a couple of times a year. On the other, it does suck that for the first quarter of the season, a significant portion of the games are irrelevant blowouts.
Most people don't begrudge the smaller schools the opportunity to make money - or for the bigger schools, the chance to do some fine tuning - but given the limited number of games in the schedule, to have two of them mean nothing is frustrating.

That doesn't pad stats, fill bank accounts, and generate highlight reel footage. That's where the game is today, unfortunately.

Blasted rapscallions also opined that our spectacularly monikered chap should never even have seen the field at our esteemed university. The old boy gave them a right good seeing-off. Pip-pip!

If the SEC thinks the Louisiana court had no jurisdiction, why not challenge that directly instead of threatening to punish teams who honor the ruling?
The court may have jurisdiction under employment law or government codes or something. The question of whether court's ruling would be binding outside of Louisiana/that particular district could also be challenged.
As for what the SEC's legal strategy is - I don't know. Presumably, they have some well-considered reasons for proceeding the way that they are, but there's no shortage of institutional incompetence out there.

SMU as opposed to UNC, not GT.
SMU is a fairly wealthy school; their endowment is bigger than UGA's, albeit not by a whole lot. Their football spending is something like $20 million per year, which puts them on par with UNC. They have an insanely wealthy donor base, so upping that would not be a challenge for them. They are also in D-FW, which is a huge media market.
