[NU Sports] 10 league games? Not likely

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I agree.
 
Don't know if any of you have seen CMU play this year.  I think that, on
a neutral field, they could hold their own against any team in the this
year BT including OSU.

	The "weak" non-con schedule sometimes benefits the "weaker" team

	Look at the national boost the AP State received by beating UoM.
The

	The MAC has grown from initially being cannon fodder for the BT
to
	beating BT teams because they schedule a lot of BT games.  Part
of that
	growth is the MAC recruiting promise that kids who maybe got
passed over
	by BT schools will have a chance to beat them on the field.
	
	Also, these are big paydays for both teams, not just the BT.

All good points Jeff --there are some redeeming aspects to these cheap
schedules !

I used to refer to the MAC  as the poor man's Big Ten
