Yes, that's great for recruiting. Hey, mom and dad, on Saturday we're playing Texas! Come watch us lose 70-3! Later we'll get ice cream! WOOHOO!
This changes nothing. They still have far more money and resources, the pick of the top recruits.
I'm not employed by MU - I don't have kids at MU. I care about winning on Saturday, or at least having a reasonable chance to win. This plan gets us pummeled by super schools that we've never been able to compete with twice a year, takes away a non-conference game, and pretty much guarantees us that we'll never even sniff a BCS berth.
