Putting together a college football schedule isn't as simple as picking up the phone and signing the contract. Georgia Southern Athletic Director Tom Kleinlein has to take several factors into consideration such as competitive advantage for his team, fan experience and financial needs. The conference office also has some influence on scheduling when it comes to television games in terms of who plays on television and when they play. The Sun Belt mandates that each school plays four home and four away games, while the NCAA mandates that each school play at least five home games and have a complete schedule of 12 games.
