South Carolina athletics director Eric Hyman will allow North Carolina out of its 2010 game in Columbia, but only if the Tar Heels agree to make up the game in the "very near future" and a suitable replacement is found for next year's schedule.

ESPN officials contacted Hyman several months ago to see if he would be amenable to letting North Carolina out of the second game of its home-and-home deal with USC so the Tar Heels and LSU could meet in the Georgia Dome the opening weekend of the 2010 season.

Do we have any options in next year's schedule to buy out of a game or postpone the game to be South Carolina's opponent on the first Thursday of the season on ESPN? That would be fun. A three year deal with the Cocks, one at BDS, one in Columbia, and one at the Dome would be fun.

That's one reason to hate it... It allows others to come in and poach recruits from GA... I probably wouldn't care as much if they did more than pay lip service to GT (and perish the thought - UGA) when scheduling teams... But we all know that $$$ is all the ASC wants.

100% agree, the best way for us to participate (and I know I am beating a dead horse with this crowd) is to move the ugag game to this venue annually.
