Also, I don't believe the non-conference schedule is made by the Pac-12 schedule makers, I think that's made by the schools, which is why the date for our non-conference games in 2016 are already known, as are the dates for the two known non-conference games next season.  So, you can't complain about 2/3 home games happening before students show up unless you're complaining about our AD (correct me if I'm wrong).

Well, the Davis and Army games are on the AD, the question is does USC need to be this week? I'm not sure but it's not obvious to me that there's another way to do it.
