If it became a permanent thing, I imagine we would alternate between 6-6 home-road years and 5-7 years. We could set up alternating home-and-homes with Hampton and Norfolk State (or VMI, Liberty, or the other flavor of your choice). But with the FBS game always being away, the last slot would almost always alternate between home and away with whatever opponent(s). Unless we can luck into teams who are willing to play a single game at Zable to fill a schedule hole, or are willing to buy games (hah!), there's no way we can count on six home games year in and year out. NC Tribe is right on the money.

That said, I like the 12-game concept. More games -- what's not to like?

We paid Norfolk State for a one game deal, and I'm sure would do it again to get six home games. Plenty of FCS teams within driving distance that would love to play us. Pay them for one and then give a home-and-home down the road, or seek 2-for-1 deals.
