Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Unlike a lot of people on here, I don't have anything against neutral site games.  In fact, I REALLY like the traditional neutral site games like the WLOCP, Red River, etc. 

I don't know much about the financial angle.  How does the revenue for Florida and Georgia compare in playing two years in Jacksonville as opposed to one home game each? 

Over a two year period Florida has seven SEC home games, seven SEC road games, two neutral site SEC games, one home game with FSU, one road game at FSU, and room to schedule six more games.  If the revenue is about equal or better (it might be better) then I see the neutral site game as largely irrelevant.

I think revenue is a bigger issue for local merchants than it is for the schools when discussing neutral-site vs. home-and-home games.

UGA and UF are having "discussions" about the WLOCP apparently, though this happens fairly often.  Both home stadia are larger in capacity than the one in J-ville.

I'm pretty sure the NS games in ATL or Big D pay a lot more to the team that plays than they earn at home, but the local merchants of course don't.

My guess is the primary job of any AD is to raise as much money as possible.  It would be interesting to see a typical breakdown of income:

Ticket sales
Donations
TV
League portions
Booze and food concessions
Whatever else.

I guess the TV thing is dominant.
