Your post is what many have asked for....but it seems to make to much sense for the athletic department to try.With 9 conference games, every other year teams have 4 home and 5 away conference games. In those years, they need 3 home games. Typically, 2 of those 3 need to be "payoff" games against teams that won't demand home-and-home series. However it seem that the third game could be the home side of a series against a name team with the away game scheduled for when Penn State has 5 home conference games. To me, it doesn't have to be against 3 turkeys.
