A two edged sword here.
I think the answer for the non-league games should be a combination of in and out of state games.
For the past several years, one of Ohio State's games has been against an in-state Mid American Conference (or other public) school. Why let all of the big stadium dollars go out of state?
In truth, the games have been fairly entertaining. Consider the OSU/Cincinnati game last week when Cincinnati was leading for a portion of the game. The same thing happened a few years ago when my Ohio Bobcats played in Columbus. We got stomped in the end, but were leading at halftime as I recall.
Nobody really expects the MAC teams to win, but it's great to have the chance to play in Ohio Stadium in front of 100,000 folks. And the paycheck for the school isn't bad either.
What drives me crazy is when a big powerhouse (I'll not name any names) schedules four or five creampuffs for slaughter just to run up the number is the "W" column.
