The schedule is shortened but we still have the Champions Classic and the ACC/B10 Challenge. The games that we need to replace on their schedule are the easy wins that allow K to tinker with lineups and players to pad their stats and gain confidence. I also agree with Sam that it makes way more sense to bring in local teams, I don't see a Pac-10 opponent flying across the country to bubble in Durham and then play us. Teams like Elon, Davidson, ECU, UNC-G, App State, etc. would be logically easier to get onto the schedule.
