Welcome to the club, 13OT. Once I made that decision, I never once regretted it.
The 8-game schedule and the cupcake parade are also terrible for the TV viewer. It’s going to take a backlash from the TV networks to shake this up. As I’ve long advocated, a super conference regime with a 16-team playoff AND centralized scheduling would be a TV gold mine. The money would be so huge that going to 6 home games (at least some years) would be a drop in the bucket, revenue-wise.
