Really the best thing they can do to raise viewership and make more money is to continue winning.

Or schedule SEC teams

Living, as I do, in the heart of SEC country, I would LOVE to watch the Trojans bring their act to the SEC.  If they wanted "money" match-ups, I could easily see one (possibly two in some years) losses a season if they were playing against the SEC leaders. ( Playing a schedule against the bottom feeders yields pretty much the same result whether they are P12 bottom feeders or SEC bottom feeders.)  Maybe that's the long game for the Trojan AD.  Get a different stable of bottom feeders for schedule padding while getting to dwell in the greater exposure of the SEC.  At least my kid would know that for the sake of family sports politics I would not be faking it to finally root for Bama.
