UH is reducing the number of D-IAA opponents on its schedule

About how UH doesn't have any D-IAA opponents on its schedules after 2012 and will try not to schedule them in the future, Associate AD Carl Clapp said:
"That will be a last option." (HSA)


About reducing the number of D-IAA opponents they play, JD said that he would:
"prefer to play FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) opponents as much as possible. Nothing against FCS programs, but (opponents) seem to resonate better with our fans if they're an FBS program." (HSA)


About how he's tried to achieve a balanced schedule, JD said:
"We don't want our schedule to be described as 'easy,' but we also don't want it to be Murderer's Row, either. I'm very pleased with Carl's assistance with this. It was one of the immediate things I needed to address when I was hired, And I think we've done a good job of filling out our schedules into the future, and we'll continue to work on it on a consistent basis." (HSA)


About how they have been talking to many schools, including USC, about future games, JD said:
"We have talked to USC, but we still have some more talking to do. Some games take weeks (to make) and others take months." (HSA)
