Interesting question, but is it the right question?

Will concede that if the comparison is just the revenue from a home game against La Monroe versus the revenue from an away game at Notre Dame, one would expect the former to generate more revenue.

However, I'd suggest the critical comparison is the difference in total football revenue for the season from playing a "quality" noncon schedule versus the total football revenue for the season from playing a "lesser" noncon schedule.

There are a lot of variables that can enter into the amount of total football revenue generated under each scenario. The assumptions one makes on how those variables are answered will determine which generates more total football revenue.

For example if playing quality noncon opponents creates more interest in the program, it's conceivable that both donations and merchandise sales will be greater playing quality noncon opponents. It's also conceivable that total game attendance for the season will also be greater playing a quality noncon slate. The net result is total football revenue could very possibly be more playing a quality noncon schedule than it is under the current scheduling policy.

Having followed the Tigers during the Devine and Onofrio eras when the Tigers played and won a lot of big noncon games, I will tell you that beating a "big time program" in a nonconference game has a different impact on fan interest, support, etc. than blowing out the kind of teams that have sometimes graced Memorial/Faurot in recent years.
