Games we're missing
« on: August 28, 2020, 03:21:00 AM »
Oklahoma vs Nebraska
Texas vs Texas A&M
Penn State vs Pitt
Florida vs Miami
Kansas vs Missouri
Pitt vs West Virginia
BYU vs Utah


Of course, these games have nothing to do with Covid or rescheduling, they're games we've lost over the years from realignment.


Is there a realistic way to get these games back?

Get them back annually?  Nope.  Get them back every so often?  Sure.

I guess one could reallign conferences and get them back, seems unlikely to me, but I'm saying there is a chance.

Pitt and WVU have games scheduled for the near future.  WVU also has games with Penn St and VT coming up.  All those games make me happy.

If the Big Ten had to expand geographically VT/WVU certainly made sense.Specially since ND/Mizzou didn't come in for various reasons

Texas and Texas A&M will eventually play again.  It won't be annual, it'll be an occasional home-and-home, two games every 10-15 years I'd expect.

Our "marquee" non-con slot is filled through 2032 I think, so it would have to be after that.
