2026 Football Schedule

[SteinPizza]

I would assume Sept 12 will be our off week. Need rest going into Kinnick vs a top 20ish team. Usually our bye is just before conference play, though.

Iowa State could be a top 25 team too, given how well Campbell’s recruited. That assumes he sticks around, and they aren’t killed by the transfer portal. That’s also true of just about any team in Iowa State’s general category in football.

y'all will probably complain about the difficulty of travel for those games too

[BrockLesnar]

So, at season's end Mark is let go, replaced by some guy with 80 percent of the ability, no new stadium, and continue to recruit the same. Thanks for the warning four years in advance. Peace out.

[BrockLesnar]

For 2027 let's just play Ohio State, UCLA, Clemson, Oregon, Purdue, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas State, Utah, and Alabama with no bye in between. We're so broke why not get paid. Go independent to boot.

[BrockLesnar]

Nah seriously, I wish we would stop scheduling top 55 schools. We get our teeth kicked in and don't get paid enough for the trouble.

I mean I'd very seriously would rather see this than what we're doing this year, which is to say, losing to Illinois State at home. Bring in a couple extra million, accidentally win one of these, Mizzou ain't nothin', get the name of the school out there more. I'm down

I'd just rather us schedule New Mexico, New Mexico State, Colorado State, Kent State etc. Get underpaid, but win.

We complte the iowa tour with hosting drake on September 12th

[BCPanther]

Sweet. Now get the rest of the Pioneer League on the phone.

$210k! Is that the going rate for a Pioneer league to visit? Seems steep compare to what we get paid for FBS games.

[sevelev711]

I genuinely can not believe Drake is going for that.

[clenz]

They are. Drake found out the Dakota 4 are desperate for never playing a road OOC game and just kept asking for more and more and then when one said no they asked one of the other 3

theyve played the Dakota 4 something like 26 times since 2011 through 2026 known games.

SDSU is paying them 205 for the Target Field game this year and 225 for 2025 in Brookings.

[sevelev711]

Well sweet. That keeps us in state for all of non-conference season, which is fun.

[havok58]

I genuinely can not believe Drake is going for that.

Drake probably had to get talked into it when UNI said they are playing ISU and Iowa also and how unique it would be to play all three instate schools in the same season. I’m surprised Drake didn’t get a home and home agreement with Harris for this.

Then they wouldn't have gotten the check...
