Here's the official release from UNI.

Looks like we got a home/home with Northern Colorado from the Big Sky set up for '13 and '14 as well.

Dannen also announced the scheduling of a home-and-home series with the University of Northern Colorado to begin in 2013. The Panthers will travel to Greeley, Colo., on Sept. 21, 2013, and host a return game in Cedar Falls on Sept. 6, 2014.

Edit: looks like BAP beat me to it.

Well done.

Re: Future Schedules

Wow! This is big time. I am already setting aside some time to attend both games. Madison is not too far from Chicago, and Iowa was already on my must see list. Go Panthers!

Re: Future Schedules

Does anyone know how often we plan on playing two FBS games per year? I thought that I heard we would possibly only be doing this every 2-3 years or so. Anyone know if that's true?

If we do not do this every year, then maybe this is perfect timing next year. We could cash a couple of checks during a rebuilding year in '12, and then get back to chasing a title the year after.

Cedar Falls, IA (Sports Network) - Northern Iowa will visit Camp Randall Stadium on Sept. 1, 2012, as NIU Director of Athletics Troy Dannen announced the Panthers will open the season against Wisconsin.


Sigh.

You think Sports Network would know better.

i thought they committed to doing it as often as feasible.

Re: Future Schedules

I expect it to be a yearly thing. The economy and budget situations aren't getting better any time soon...

Wonder how big the check is??

Re: Future Schedules

question is how much are we getting paid for this almost guaranteed loss? I mean I like to believe that we can win against a FBS team now and then. But beating two of the upper crust B10 teams in the same season is a longshot at best.

Especially with a new QB and a good number of the OL & DL being replaced after this year. This is the definition of a body bag game.

Re: Future Schedules

i am guessing that we get at least $2mm between the two games.

Re: Future Schedules

This is almost certainly all about the $, but IMO it has other benefits, namely recruiting. What other FCS school can promise a kid they will get to go up against two to tier big ten teams in one season?

It better be significantly more than we get from Iowa IMO.

probably about $400K Body bag game? come on don't write them off - this team will be very good this year and probably better in 2012.

Sure as hell better be more than $400k when Iowa is paying us north of $500k IIRC

Doesn't coach Farley still have terms in his contract that he gets 10% if a second FBS game is scheduled? Pretty significant bump for him next year.
