[Coach Dan Hawkins] understands the economics of it. I try to balance it year to year.

It's a tremendous sporting event, one of the best in the country. The community supports it tremendously. It's great for the city, great for the program and great for the venue.

They needed a game and we needed a game.

We're touching all the bases. That's a popular night, so that's a pretty good window.

If we had our preference, we'd like to televise more away games.

We expect him not to have any other issues of any kind this year.

The market is telling us that's not feasible. The cost involved is prohibitive.

It's going to be one of two or three sporting events that's televised nationally at that time. It's going to be tremendous exposure. Either play the game on Saturday or play it on Sunday and get national exposure. That's a pretty decent trade-off.
