Future FBS opponents?

[SamsRams]

IAll that said I really hope B1G starts playing FCS teams. It is great for us.

ummmm they never stopped. Its like a kid who threatens run away, you know they will never follow through on such a stupid idea

Ok back on topic.

We have no FBS for 2015. Any leads? Is it too late to get a major on the schedule for 2015.

I'd recommend Missouri or Arkansas for that. Relatively easy drive to Columbia or Fayetteville. Both also have a tendency to lose games they shouldn't.

I recomend our AD schedules Purdue

Wisconsin has 2 open dates in 2015.

It looks like Oregon State's non-conference schedule is set for 2015

Mizzou plays SDSU next year- they don't have an FCS listed for 2015 yet.

I'm not positive we're looking, or at least looking hard. That's the year we go to Missoula. I'm not sure what GT & CB value more: six home games or an FBS game.

I know there was a thread some months back discussing this, but I searched several terms as well waded back through 25 pages to find it with no luck.

Other than Iowa State next year, do we have any future FBS games scheduled?

What sorts of opponents do we have a realistic shot at scheduling? Anyone have any insight into GT's actions or progress on this front?

Personally, I think it would be kind of cool to get Boise State on the schedule. Since a number of references to "the next Boise State" have been popping up, it would be fun to see the match up.

A pie in the sky idea that I think would be a lot of fun, but I'm sure will never become reality for so many reasons is for the FBS crowned champ to take on the FCS playoff champ in a final exhibition game, say the Saturday before the Superbowl or something. Even though it may not even be a close game, it would be interesting to see how they actually stack up at the end of the season.

Here's the link to the Iowa game Bison 4 Life mentioned - September 17th, 2016
They play their big rival Iowa State the weekend before, hmmm
hope ISU gives'em a game.....

Monetarily, 6 home games. From an exposure standpoint, FBS opponent. That would be my guess. You have to figure how one will benefit the other and then make the best call.

Exactly.......these major programs will not want to take that much risk. Not only did K-State take a terrible loss, it will cost their progam a lot of money. Any hope of a BCS Bowl bid is all but gone.

the national championship yes. the other bcs bowls no

Is 2016 a possible 12 game season for FCS team? Again, how is that determined? 5 weekends in December?
