I understand that there are warring interests here, but the long term goal is to get cheeks in seats, and I’m not sure how playing Georgia Southern, USF, ODU, and Presbyterian does that.

I expect it will be the same Wolfpack fans who bought tickets last year.
Those were the same Wolfpack fans who were castigated by DD for not coming back in the 2nd half. The same Wolfpack fans that, by the end of the season, left CF looking like Kenan stadium (< 1/2 full I mean).
I know that we have to win to get people to buy tickets, but even if I thought we were going to win the national championship, I would have no interest in spending an afternoon in CF watching us play Presbyterian.
I’m not saying our out of conference schedule should be Alabama, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Michigan…but it shouldn’t be what it is either.
I remember playing OOC games against Texas, Tennesee, Baylor, Alabama, Purdue, Syracuse (when they were good), Miami (pre-ACC), etc…
