If a team is very young I can see the reasoning behind scheduling a scrimmage. However, if a team has significant experience and knows what to expect, I think you are just wasting a chance to net another half-million dollars in revenue. A team can scrimmage all day, but that doesn't equal a real game with fans, TV timeouts, bad calls, etc.
The NCAA is all about the $$$$$, so they'll do something before they let hundreds of preseason games get eliminated.
Again, I would not expect any change in the price of the season tickets. No significiant revenue loss will occur. IMHO.
Well obviously it isn't enough of a revenue loss to keep cash-strapped schools like KSU and Marquette from having them. All I know is that if this is an increasing trend, the NCAA will find a way to make money off of it.
