What is going on? You want attendence to increase so you move the perdue game to a Sunday afternoon and now you move another Saturday home game with So Miss to a Friday. That leaves 4 Saturday home games!!!! Norfolk St, ODU, North Texas (Homecoming) and FIU. Thats really going to hurt and gives the fans a raw deal.Just my opinion!

I love it. Sunday on Labor Day weekend gives great exposure and shouldn't hurt attendance at all.
And I highly prefer Friday night to Saturday at noon.

So a Friday night game which the last one we had we sold out(WVU 2010) and a Sunday afternoon where we are the only show going on(No NFL and I believe no other College game that day). Plus they are both against teams the fans know and you think it will hurt Attendence??
As BT said, the conference moved the game...You see, we get well over $1 million a year form the conference in their negotiated contract with TV networks. When one of our partner networks wants to have a game on a certain day at a certain time, we must go along in order to honor our contract with them.
Whats going on?? You want to win but joined the Big 12. That leaves 2 possible conference wins a season with ISU and Kansas...and those arent even guaranteed.
Plus youre bleeding money with travel. Looks like wvu fans got the raw end of the deal.

Look, I love to hate WVU just as much as anyone, but let's not say incredibly stupid things like this. I'm pretty sure their $21.4 million share of conference TV, bowl game, and NCAA basketball revenue will more than make up for the money they're "bleeding" on travel.
Yeah bleeding is about right. When your neighbor UM goes to the B1G and your neighbor VT goes to the ACC and your neighbor SU goes to the ACC and your neighbor Pitt goes to the ACC you kinda feel beat down,black eyed and bleeding from the nose.
Just speaking for myself, Purdue should fine
there's no NFL football at that time, and with it being a holiday weekend, I see it as a non-issue. Being four hours away, I dislike the move to Friday night from a personal perspective and it always creates havoc with high school teams. Will probably give away my tickets that weekend, but there have been far less of these than in the past.
