Clemson-Oklahoma set home and home series

Why is it so hard to do like basketball and NFL and schedule year to year. So stupid

Well the answer is simple actually.

For the NFL you only have 32 teams and the league does the scheduling and already has a very structured system for scheduling. Such as, every division member twice, and then 4 games vs a division in the other conference and ...... so on. Also they are all guaranteed half of their schedule as home games and half away, their revenue comes from a league generated tv contract and so their homes games are all essentially gravy for the teams. Plus the fact that they do not have to support 12,14,18, or 30 other athletic teams that are affiliated with them.

Now for Basketball, the main component is that they can play multiple games a week and they have way more flexibility with their home and away conference schedule. Plus they have so many more games that they can throw in there at the beginning of their schedule.

As well as there are way more teams that play Basketball then there is that play D-1 football and/or D-1AA football.

Not to mention to mention that some conferences don’t allow their members to play 1AA teams. And you have a few conferences that only allow the out of conference games in the first 3-4 weeks of the season. Then you have the support of the rest of the Ath Dept. Like PSU has to have that 8th home game each season to help make the ATh Dept work.
