Think EWU Has A Tough Schedule?

Hadn't thought of scheduling from a recruiting stand point. Excellent points all around.

I wonder if we have approached Idaho for a neutral site game recently? We had one somewhere around 2000 at Albi. We played them many other times at Albi as a de facto home game, but one was considered neutral. Offer them a 50/50 split, knowing we'd probably carry 2/3 of the crowd. With Eastern's added standing and Idaho's large alumni base in the area, I could pretty well guarantee a sell-out. This seems a lot better than home/homing with North Dakota State or UNI. The reward is much greater in terms of $$$ and publicity, plus it's a much easier game.

The only potential upside I can see to UNI and NDSU is that we could seek to make that another ESPN season opener with national TV coverage.

It might just be me, but I think Eastern's schedule is tougher.
