It's not a BTN rule, you see these other teams, in other conferences sometimes like to have TV deals and money from those deals too. So they own the rights to these home games and are not going to give them up.

don't play them until they do; with 16 teams in the league we can wait them out.
So you want other conferences to give us their TV rights? Or do you just want all non-conference teams to play at home?
Okay that won't work. But with more BTN money we can get around the revenue thing.
Now some of the non conference teams do give up their rights and just take the money so that shouldn't change.
Where is this extra money thing coming from? Especially when your system is killing many of the prime time matchups that actually ADD revenue? Also, even if there's more TV dollars, do you think that Nebraska is paying millions of dollars to add onto the stadium to only play there 6 times in a year? Think of 7 as a minimum, they'd schedule 12 there if they could.
Like who? Even the MWC and Sun Belt have TV deals. You remember how the Nebraska Wyoming game was on Vs? That's why.
and the USM game next year? and the games when the team doesn't demand a home and home? what kind of a tv deal do they get?
I'm not 100% on Southern Miss because the TV rights were there's originally so I think even if the game is played in Lincoln that their conference contract still gets to sell the game. If a team agrees to play us at home then the BTN owns the rights.
Not bad, but does that imply there are 3 teams you never play except in a CCG? Also, as much as I like college football and count the days between seasons, I think the season is about the right length now. Seems like they would need to get rid of bye weeks and finish 1 week later or start 1 week earlier (better weather).
Teams would probably schedule more Idaho States as well, less incentive for a tough noncon schedule.
Not at all, 3 teams would be played every year while the remaining 12 would be alternated through. As for non-conference scheduling, a nine game conference schedule won't change the approach that DONU takes much at all. There will be one FBS level non-con a year and 2 home only matches against low level FBS teams as well as FCS teams.
As for me, I would love to see a rule come into play increasing the regular season to 14 games, allowing for 10 games in conference and 4 out of conference. As well as a rule restricting FCS games to 1 per season.
