I understood BF's first offer because UND needed to fill 7 OOC games in the GWFC, playing NDSU every year helps that, every other year helped a little. When UND joined the BSC and we only needed to fill 3 OOC games I see where GT came from however playing every year and an FBS game means 1 game per season to fill with over 100 DI teams to choose from. UND has had 2 teams back out but it was early in the GWFC days and no scheduling problems recently as we need only 3 games to fill in the next 4 years. NDSU has had a few teams backout, MSU being very recent, and has scheduling problems almost every year (Ferris St being recent). Home and Home series solves that, and if there is a big buyout clause in case someone backs out at least you get a big chunk of change in your pocket. 6 home games are nice but when you lower yourself to DII teams as your 6th home game...that's pathetic, especially when that could've been filled with a team an hour away. BF is thinking big picture (H/H) that fills 2015 and 2017 for UND's schedule that would mean UND has no empty spots until 2018 (one open spot), GT's offer of 2015 at Fargo works, 2017 at Fargo doesn't work as UND would have 4 home games that year instead of 5, and that one game in 2015 at Fargo is fine, but that fills 2015 and does nothing to fill 2017. The more seasons you fill the better or else you could get stuck calling schools in the DII, DIII, or NAIA directory.
