  • I wonder what they are getting paid?


    SIU will play:
    Indiana in 2006
    Northern Illinois in 2007
    Northwestern in 2008

    I wonder what they are getting paid? I would love to get into the mix with NIU and Northwestern, as I view them as beatable teams of regional interest. We are closer to both schools than SIU. The big paydays are what keeps UNI going to Iowa, Iowa State, etc...but it would be great to get to play those two schools. Plus it would put UNI in great recruiting ground of Chicago-land.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    We're not closer in the economic nor political world. For those schools to schedule SIU, they're still scheduling an in-state school and keeping the payday in state. Things are pretty territorial when it comes to this stuff.

    Imagine, for a moment, if next year ISU was playing Missouri State and Iowa scheduled Western Illinois (who wants to get on Iowa's schedule BADLY). We'd have the proverbial red arse around here over that one. Same goes for Illinois schoo.s

    I like playing ISU regularly, and the only additions I'd make are Mizzou or Minnyhaha. I think more likely we'll play ISU 2 out of 3 years, and Iowa about once every six or seven.

      I'd imagine the Big 10 Schools all pay pretty similar to I-AAs.

      I'm guessing that NIU pays about half a Big 10 school.


      So who has all the info for UNI's upcoming games? Didn't one W'loo/CF Courier article say something along the line of ISU for 06 and 08, Iowa maybe 09 and maybe ISU or Neb for 07.......

      Who's got the scoop?

        I don't quite see where Indiana figures into your equation. For that matter Northwestern, being a private school, would not have the same political considerations as a state school. Northern Illinois would not pay anywhere near what the B10 schools pay.

          I'm going to guess that Northwestern (and even small-time football schools like Indiana) don't play what Iowa, Michigan, tOSU pay either.

          I'm not sure what you're talking about Gonzo, I didn't mention Indiana at all.

          I think it's more then fair to assume that state schools are going to be at least somewhat encouraged to keep those dollars in-state, especially when the opportunity is to play another state school. Like I said, if UNI in a few years ended up playing a 1a "mid-major" while Iowa played WIU and Iowa State played Missouri State, so we got a smaller paycheck while out-of-state schools got larger ones from our in-state institutions, we'd be upset. Same logic will apply in other states.

            Sorry, my bad. The original post included Indiana and I dropped the ball on reading comprehension after that.

              I believe:
              2006 Iowa State
              2007 Iowa State
              2008 Iowa State
