I meant to say I'd love for tOSU to play Hawaii.

Tell the coach/AD to schedule them home/home in the future. Since they are paper tigers. Road game in Hawaii doesn't even count against the '12 game' limit. Hawaii was even giving a $750,000 guaranteed payout to visitors.
Guess Akron, Youngstown St, and Kent St are enough.

750k vs $5 million... hmmm.
[/ QUOTE ]
$5 million as in "if we go to Hawaii we might lose and get knocked out of the NC game"?
[/ QUOTE ]
No. Each home game for Ohio State generates about $5M. Even going to the NC game doesn't generate $5M for Ohio State.
[/ QUOTE ]
So what is your point, exactly?
Hawaii at Ohio State, you get $5M
Ohio State at Hawaii, you get $750,000. You do not lose a home game. If you play at Hawaii, you get to play 13 games. Repeat, you do not lose a home game. You can schedule a home game vs Ohio School for the Quadraplegic and get your $5M.

Good point. But $750k is probably close to the total expense of going anyway, so its (nearly) a wash. You were originally twisting my quote of wishing to play Hawaii in the National Championship game vs. wanting to play them in general. I hope they don't go to Hawaii. I have no respect for that dirty of a program with that dirty fans. I'm glad we are going to USC, Miami, Oklahoma, Syracuse, and whoever else is scheduled in the next few years.
Ohio State (or any true top 15 team), would be a near lock against Hawaii. Just look back to 2002 when Texas Tech had a similar "unstoppable" offense, when it took until the 4th quarter and we had our 3rd stringers in before they saw the end zone.
