It's no hyperbole. The Wolfpack is about to play the most high-profile game in program history.
with first-round games probably ticketed for mid-December on the horizon, it might be time to look at building in a greater cushion for scheduling flexibility.There are three ways to realistically do that. One is to eliminate conference championship games, and another is to reduce the number of regular season games each team plays. Considering the amount of money at stake — from television rights fees to ticket sales, among other things — both are probably non-starters.
Which leaves the option of beginning the season earlier, which is already occurring thanks to the modest offerings of Week 0 every August. If roughly 10 of those games can be played every season, why not 70 or so? An obvious downside is demanding players who aren’t directly paid to cut their summers short by a week . However, the addition of an extra open date in the middle of the season, especially if there is a way to guarantee one of them comes either in late October or early November, would probably be a plus for players.Considering an expanded playoff makes it possible that a team could play 17 games in a season , finding ways to spread things out more would presumably be a plus.
