So we're going to add 17,000 seats so we can have 20,000 empty seats?

Few P5 stadium remodels involve capacity expansion.

Weird analogy to use given his suggestion to go to the AAC or MWC.

I'm okay with a conf affiliation for a few games to fill out our schedule.

didn't he already go on record? is he beating a drum at this point?

12/6/16 12:16pm

"beating a drum"? I am unfamiliar with usage of that phrase in this context.

he's "campaigning" at this point. Say it once and let it go.

Some of our regular season games are better than past bowl games. Big time games

12/6/16 8:44pm

Precisely. MWC teams play for the *chance* at a big time P5 opponent.

A conference affiliation would work. Tiered bowl games gives something to play
