Nebraska just bought out a home and home with Tennessee

We've got to get out of ND. No reason whatsoever to be playing them. Once you get out of that, start working on dropping UNC and even Wake. Then get rid of the trip to TCU. Once that is all done, for the love of god, get Ole Miss off the schedule.

Notre Dame is not an every season game so I would be against that. Don't necessarily agree with putting too many soft opponents on the schedule either.

Loser mentality. If we can’t compete with these teams we should move to D2 football

i'd rather have a win than some more of what you call quality losses against good teams. Look at Bloomington this year. they had an easy schedule, but a lot of happy fans and they sold a lot of tickets they don't usually sell and they even made the playoffs with their soft schedule. winning means bowl games. losing against tough teams means firing the coach, and all of our good players leave, and starting over. I'm tired of starting over. let's be honest, good recruits don't sign to play for losing teanms. . nobody likes a losing team no matter who the opponent is. look at alabama and OSU. their non conference schedule is against puds. if you want to see some tough opponents, we have enough already in the Big 10.

I don't agree with this theory whatsoever.

You guys are all nuts. We do not need to be doing this. Right now we are sitting here as the worst P4 grogram in America and you want to sign up for even more Ls? We are in an 18 team super league, that schedule is enough. It’s almost like you didn’t watch this past season. And I’ll tell you another thing, the winningest coach in our history would agree with me.

I saw an article heading yesterday, didn’t read it and didn’t know what it meant at that time, that Nebraska was following the IU formula to get to the CFP. Not joking.

I do think these games end up being bought out at some point but not because we are wusses like you.

I think soon there will be a BIG/SEC type challenge every year and ESPN will do the same with the ACC and BIG12 so teams will have to open up games.

Saying we should cancel these games because Walters couldn’t make us competitive is weak. We’ll immediately be significantly better because of coaching, scheming, etc.

Question: Do you think competition breeds success? Meaning playing tougher teams will make Purdue a better team in the long run?

If you answer yes to either question, there's no reason to get out of playing Notre Dame this year. Why, so we can play Ferris State and be 4-8 instead of 3-9? And get nothing productive long-term out of winning the game?

I’m good with 1 competitive game and 2 gimmes, along with the 9 conference games.

Iu got rewarded for it and mainly the sec schools openly complained about it to the media. Purdue had a brutal schedule last year. Had we had a decent coach we may have won a game or two more and been more competitive week to week but we werent going to sniff a bowl game. It really doesnt make sense for a school like purdue to play a tough non conference schedule. B10 is loaded and its going to be tough to get to six wins with a tough out of conference schedule.

Agreed. And ensure we have 7 home games each year - like everyone else in the league.
Hell IU had 8 homer games this season!
