Dallas is a pretty crappy city, albeit in a football-mad state. That stadium is a monstrosity.

Obv. UM makes more on a home date. The question is, how much more? With an OOC home & home on ABC, is it home takes all, w/ 50/50 split of TV rev.? How does the conference impact things?
ND is unique, because of their geographic proximity, and their TV contract with NBC.
What would be the take in a home & home with USC, UCLA, TX, TN, or West Virginia?
Are there any decent teams out there wanting exposure who would entertain a 2 for 1 (one game their place, two at ours?) That would seem to be the best scenario for us . . . a good team, but still decent finances.
What about tiered pricing? How much could the market bear for USC, vs., say, BG or EMU? Could face value be double?

It's only a 7-8 hour drive for me! I'll be there dressed up in my UM gear. I have a friend who lives in Fort Worth, I'm sure I can party hardy after the win and crash at his place!!!!

Finally MIchigan will have a tough team from the SEC on its schedule to give it a measuring stick between conferences.
