It's time for the popular problematic sport in America to return! Watch as a whole bunch of things happen, ending up the same way three out of the past four seasons have ended. New this season is the ACC Network, or the Atlantic Coast Conference Network for long! My cable provider (Charter Spectrum) says I will start to receive this channel next week, for some odd reason.

Kick back and fire up your various screens, but before you veg out, ask yourself this question: why is Syracuse playing AT Liberty?

Oh okay. So usually the smaller school goes to the bigger school? Or is that just true in the beginning of the season or something?

Generally, a big school's out-of-conference games falls into three categories: marquee match-ups, non-conference rivals, and cupcake games. Cupcake games, also known as pay games or bodybag games, are where big schools pay about a million dollars to a small school so the big school can have an easy win at home. 24 out of 25 times, the cupcake gets destroyed, but get money so their athletic program can provide.

For some reason, Syracuse (which could be considered a big school) made a deal with Liberty (which joined the Football Bowl Subdivision a few years ago and is definatly a small school) so they play two games at Syracuse and one at Liberty.

Nippert is cool relative to the rest of Cincinnati sports stadiums because people actually make noise and didnt get their tickets paid for by Kroger to avoid a blackout

thanks for the explanation. maybe Liberty wanted more money and letting them have a game there was the compromise

if I had to choose I like bodybag games best because it appeals to my immature and violent side. cupcakes are tasty though. pay games can gtfo

Two for one's do happen, and sometimes even one for ones between schools where that absolutely shouldn't happen. Here's an article I found on the money vs free win thing.
