Re: Future Schedules

The first post has been updated. Here is another point worth noting.

[QUOTE] In 2013 and 2014, the calendar will allow for a 12-game regular season for FCS schools...QUOTE]

So, if UNI plays SFA in 2013 (as someone earlier mentioned as the time for the return game), then, it allows UNI to find 2 games for next year and possibly get to a 6 game home stand, or possibly get another FBS game (which I think TD mentioned it was going to be 2012 as the first year they would play two FBS opponents). Anyway, 2013 and 2014 could be good financial years for UNI if they can get a 2nd FBS opponent and also get a 6 game home schedule.

Re: Future Schedules

Why is it that NDSU has released so many of their furture game dates, yet we don't hear a word until early-mid summer? Is there a reason or does the athletic deparment like to have more flexibility to adjust to others' schedules?

In these types of situations I like to assume that the folks in Fargo are being jackasses. It has no real bearing on the situation, but I'm sure whatever they are doing is illadvised and possibly illegal.

Re: Future Schedules

The SFA return was pushed to 2013 so that both teams have more flexibility in a 12 game year. If we were making the return next year we would could have been stuck with just four home games depending on the other OOC game...

Re: Future Schedules

The Homecoming game probably comes down to either SIU or Indiana State. Personally I would go with Indiana State, it is a way to get a good crowd for that game. SIU always will get a good crowd in my opinion.

Re: Future Schedules

A game against Minnesota should be something we strive for every year for the forseeable future.

There isn't any rule on how many games we can play, but I don't see any reason we wouldn't give ourselves a bye week considering we didn't have one this year.

The FCS is at an 11 game regular season right now.

That may be changing, however
