Okay, I'll admit you didn't say "not about more revenue" if you will admit you said "its all about revenue not about softening the schedules"...see below.
Hell tbj, that type of scheduling is okay. Your aqua lizards aren't the only ones doing it. It is wide spread. And as long as there are no consequences for such, it is smart scheduling.
What isn't okay is the ruse of trying to hide behind the real reason it is done. No matter how much the blind homers try to rationalize it instead of admitting it, the purpose for doing such is solely "softening the schedule" at a certain point in the season to break up a difficult stretch. Bye weeks later in the year are for the same purpose. It is funny as hell to me that homers won't admit it. Hell, they are more likely to admit it when their team sucks than to admit they scedule late season cupcakes to get a break in a tough stretch of the schedule.
Meh, we do it because we can.
There is no penalty, or at least no tangible penalty for the SEC teams that do and it is better for us, schedule wise.
I've never seen anybody make the revenue argument in terms of timing...how would that possibly be better? We schedule the cupcakes for revenue, but the timing is all schedule.
We could try going the B1G route and add some shit teams like Rutgers and Maryland to our conference, then we could pretend our schedule is tougher because we play 9 conference games, lol.
