2021 schedule update

UNI does it

How’s that working out for them? Also, at least one of them is barely a road game for their fans.

UNI does it

You mean "did" it...twice (2012 and 2014). I believe the extra FBS games were scheduled due to the Athletic Department at the time (maybe still do) was in serious need of money (basketball isn't cheap). Since then, they've tried other ways to get money, like forcing Iowa and Iowa State to help fund their Athletic Department (https://www.press-citizen.com/story/...oney/80239092/).

Also, I'm not sure I would consider them top-tier anymore, but I doubt FBS ADs fear them as much as they fear NDSU.

Yes, you posted it while I was still typing and researching the years UNI played two FBS games.

This is such a silly argument, I remember when the big non-conference game was something called Pittsburgh State and we piss pounded conference foes like Augustana and Mankato. If the schedule isn’t good enough for people now, When was it?

If we were FBS indy here is an example

UMass- terrible
New Mexico St - terrible
Liberty- terrible
Eastern Michigan- terrible
Shitty sun belt and MAC teams that we and most of the MVFC and CAA teams are better than


Anyone that thinks we would have a full slate of P5 and MWC teams is living in fantasy land, and getting P5 at home...lol not for 20 years if ever anymore, maybe for a 5 for 1

No conference FBS is a death sentence

UNI does it

The last time UNI played two FBS teams in the same season was 2014 (Iowa and Hawaii) and finished the season 9-5. Also in 2012 against Wisconsin and Iowa and finished the season 5-6.

I would rather us play 1 FBS games and 2 OOC FCS home games and end up in Frisco celebrating another National Championship almost every year.

Do some research before spouting off.

Good luck getting the FBS NOW crowd to figure that out.

Is there confirmation of a return trip to Albany? Could be another great road trip if this is confirmed. Niagara Falls, Boston, NYC, Toronto, take the long way home through Canada...a lot of area I've never seen up there.
