For the record, this newly invented mental gymnastics to spin signing 2-1's is not going to pass muster. If you sign a contact to play a team twice at their place and once at yours, that is not a Home and Home.
If they're going to pay USF to take that 2-1 deal then fine, that's part of your model, but this is not some home and home with a "buy game". It's a 2-1 that the other school paid to make happen.
When you say "pass mustard" and "mental gymnastics" I am afraid that it is you who is working hard to make this into what you want to believe.
When a team pays for a game, its called a Buy game. Cinci just got one with Arkansas.
If a team gets a home and home, then thats what we call it but magically when a UCF fan doesnt like what a rival team does, it is no longer a home and home with a buy game, because the UCF fan has some intrinsic need to make this sound worse.
How is it when you combine two well known terms then it all of a sudden it isnt those two things anymore?
Would it help you if we signed two separate contracts? It honestly is just getting silly.
Here's the thing, UCF can do what UCF wants to do. USF will too but our schedule includes some amazing top notch teams and in return we had to sign a few buy games with FAMU and Bethune Cookman... and UCF has games against FAMU but they don't have the high profile games.
You want equality and thats your right. You guys worked hard and thats the direction you want to go but disparaging a rival for getting a better schedule and an extra $5 million is just... silly!
and before anyone starts in on the whole "you made it so others couldnt get what we were asking for"... Ill remind you, that we dont work to help yall. $5 million and an amazing schedule. Enough said.
