Glad that SXU is off the schedule. Not a productive game any way you look at it. Nothing to gain at all. TTU is a solid OVC addition, not the most competitive team, but still a D1 opponent. Good for local recruiting as well. Perhaps we will get a return game in 2018 from TTU?
Unless we were beyond desperate to make the deal, I'd assume we'll get a return game sometime in the next year or two, preferably 2018, since we know we have a home game vs Montana in 2019.Leatherneck177 wrote: Thu Feb 09, 2017 3:04 pm Glad that SXU is off the schedule.

Just for my own edification, was our game with SXU a guarantee payoff game for them? If so, any idea how much and what it cost us to get out of the contract?
Embrace the pace of the race.
I would guess that it was, but likely not a huge amount. I think that when an FCS plays a non-DI school, they usually pay something in the range of $10k-20k.sealhall74 wrote: Thu Feb 09, 2017 3:42 pm Just for my own edification, was our game with SXU a guarantee payoff game for them?

Just saw that we've been added to the schedule for South Alabama (FBS, Sun Belt) for September 3, 2022.
USA is located in Mobile, AL and was a founding member of the Sun Belt, although they only added Football in 2009 and became a full FBS member in 2013.

And a H&H series with Eastern Washington for 2020 and 2021...I'm liking the scheduling push lately.
