Future FBS schools scheduled.

[bostonspider]

I just realized Richmond has their FBS/ACC schools scheduled from now until 2021.

2016 - UVA
2017 - BC
2018 - UVA
2019 - BC
2020 - Pitt
2021 - VaTech

Does everyone else schedule this far out?

[X-Factor]

For the Bison we are playing Iowa next year. There is also a contact signed with Oregon, I forget which year but there will be 50 bison fans to remind me :)
Beyond that I don't know if we have anything signed. It has been tough getting them as of late. I suppose winning 5 in a row will do that.

Bear fans only know next year: Arkansas State.

But coach kinda hinted at a two game series with them so I'm thinking also in 2017 but not sure.

In talks with Auburn or Missouri for 2016 from an LCD article back in 2013.

Possible Kansas State in 2017.

I expect it has/will. xnodx

[BucBisonAtLarge]

Army has announced Bucknell again in 2020.

[ST_Lawson]

We've got the following:
2016 - Northern Illinois
2017 - Northwestern
2018 - Illinois

Beyond that, we don't really know. We often play Big 10 or MAC schools because they're close (saves travel $, we can bring a decent crowd, etc.), but with the Big 10's recent decision to not schedule any new games against FCS teams, it's kinda thrown a wrench in the future scheduling situation. Big 10 schools will look more towards other P5 FBS schools as well as nearby G5 schools (mostly MAC), which kinda fills up their schedules as well. Kinda have to wait until things sort out with them before we can go much further.

[PurpleStreamers]

JMU has:

2016 - UNC
2017 - ECU

Think we might have NC State after that but those are the only two that I'm sure about right now.

[Catamount87]

Here's what we have scheduled so far.

2016 - ECU and South Carolina
2017 - Hawai'i and UNC
2018 - UNC
2019 - NCSU
2024 - NCSU

[Smitty]

Upcoming Catamount Football FBS Opponents:

2015: at Texas A&M - Nov. 14, 2015
2016: at East Carolina - Sept. 3, 2016
2016: at South Carolina – Nov. 19, 2016
2017: at Hawai'i - Sept. 2, 2017
2019: at N.C. State - Sept. 7, 2019
2024: at N.C. State - Aug. 31, 2024

It does look like WCU may try to keep 2 FBS games a year. I am sure they will do the same for 2017 if they can get away with it.

Gah beat me by 12 minutes. Should have refreshed the page.

[centennial]

No G5 schools will take our calls anymore :(
They see a fargo area code and won't even pickup.

[Dane96]

Albany has Buffalo in '16 and Pitt in '17.

[BisonFan02]

They can't afford a guarantee enough to make it worth it anyway. The Bison would be better off paying someone for another home game and pocket the ticket proceeds.

[eiu1999]

We are scheduled through 2018


2105 Florida St
2016 Alabama
2017 LSU
2018 Kentucky

If FSU isn't underwater by then:D

It's how you look at it. The advertisement for NDSU on ESPN is worth a lot. NDSU has gotten millions of dollars of airtime on ESPN.

[UNDBIZ]

The University of North Dakota

2016 @Bowling Green
2017 @Utah
2018 @Washington

[mamberso]

JSU:

2016 - LSU
2017 - Georgia Tech

I know every JSU fan wishes Troy would call us, but it probably won't happen.

[RootinFerDukes]

James Madison will play
2016 North Carolina
2017 East Carolina
2018 North Carolina State

I think that's all that's been announced.

[Winindy]

2015 Gamecocks (haven't played it yet)
2016 North Carolina

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple's FCS slate...

2016 Stony Brook
2017 Villanova
2018 Villanova

I'm glad to see 'Nova return. Some hate the game but I don't mind it. It's just another opportunity to beat our biggest rival. Plus, it keeps the Philly sports fan engaged in college football when summer is just coming to an end...

[kdinva]

VMI:



2016 - @ Akron (9/1)
2017 - @ Air Force (not officially publicized
2018 - @ Toledo (9/8), @ ODU (tba)
2019 - @ Army (11/16), @ Marshall (rumored)

[Bisonator]

It's how you look at it. The advertisement for NDSU on ESPN is worth a lot. NDSU has gotten millions of dollars of airtime on ESPN.

Not many G5 games would get televised though and without real TV the "advertisement" you speak of isn't there. Look at several FCS/G5 games this year that had no coverage at all. We are pretty well beyond what G5's can provide, as was said NDSU can make more money with a home game and still be on ESPN3. We will have to continue the B12, P12 or maybe even SEC route to get FBS games. At least until those start B1Ging FCS foes too.

[RootinFerDukes]

The big 10 realizes they just took one win from the win column every year right? Well... Mac schools will be replacing them and they win as often as Fcs schools do pretty much. Maybe not.

[kdinva]

....and, it'll cost them more money. I believe the typical B10 payout to a 1-AA team is in the $400 -$450 K range......for M A C schools, isn't it usually $750K+?

[McNeese72]

McNeese

USL (okay ULL or U whatever the hell they call themselves now) in 2016
I've heard Okla. St. in 2017.

I doubt the "big boys" care about a few hundred K. They're more concerned with having what appears to be a better SOS (I say "appears to be" because as most of us know, there's plenty of FCS teams that could take most of the MAC teams to the woodshed....ISUr or NDSU the last few years vs someone like a directional Michigan would be UGLY). To most outsiders, FBS is automatically better than FCS, regardless of actual quality of the team. Plus they hate being embarrassed by their "little brothers".

[Sitting Bull]

So far on paper for W&M:
2016: NC State
2017: UVA
2018: VA Tech
2019: UVA

[DFW HOYA]

None until further notice.

[bostonspider]

Actually UR is fully scheduled through 2018, with two more games TBA for 2019

In 2016,UR plays six(6) home games including Norfolk State(H) on 9/10, Colgate(H) on 9/24,and UVa(A) on 9/3.

In 2017,UR plays Colgate(A)on 9/9,Howard(H) 9/16,and BC(A) on 9/2.

In 2018,UR plays Fordham(H)on 9/8,St Francis(H) 9/15,and UVa(A) on 9/1.

In 2019,UR plays Fordham(A),BC(A).Two(2)more OOC games are forthcoming,likely at home.UR will play 12 regular season games in 2019.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lehigh has Navy in 2018...

Fordham, Colgate and Holy Cross have been the most aggressive in scheduling FBS game. Not surprising given their past.

[Gangtackle11]

Villanova:

2016: @Pittsburgh
2017: Temple @ The Linc
2018: Temple @ The Linc

[eiu1999]

EIU has Miami OH in 2016

[Sader87]

Holy Cross:

2017: UConn
2018: BC
2019: Syracuse
2020: BC

Would love to see Army, Navy and some others (like Rice, Vandy, Wake etc) down the road as well.

[SFA 93]

SFA

2016 - Texas Tech
2017 - SMU
2018 - Mississippi State

[knucklehead]

Liberty 2106
Open at Va Tech (with a new coach)
Then SMU has replaced the game North Texas bailed on. Upgrade.

[Catatonic]

ACU

2016 Air Force
2017 New Mexico and Colorado State
2018 Baylor
2019 North Texas

[SUUTbird]

In 2016 we have:

-Sept. 1st: @ Utah
-Nov. 12th: @ BYU

Should be really good in helping us get some more exposure in the state, however an upset is highly unlikely. Hoping we can get a lower tier FCS school as our 3rd Non-Conference game.

[CHIP72]

Temple's FCS slate...

2016 Stony Brook
2017 Villanova
2018 Villanova

Villanova:

2016: @Pittsburgh
2017: Temple @ The Linc
2018: Temple @ The Linc

I really, really hope the 2017 and/or 2018 Villanova/Temple games are played on Saturdays. Recent Mayor's Cup games have been played on weeknights, which makes it hard for out-of-towners to attend. I'd almost definitely sport one of my Big Five T-shirts if I attend.

[CHIP72]

Lehigh has Navy in 2018...

If I'm still in the DC area in 2018, I really, really hope that game doesn't overlap with Temple/Maryland at Byrd Stadium. I believe both Lehigh/Navy and Temple/Maryland are scheduled for 9/15/18 at the moment...

A day-night doubleheader would be awesome though.

[BNiche]

Fordham

2016: at Navy (September 3rd)
2017: at Army (November 11th)
2018: at Charlotte (September 1st)

and... the FBS game I am definitely going to try and get to, claiming a "vacation weekend"?

2020: at Hawaii (September 12th) (http://fordhamsports.com/news/2015/4/15/FB_0415154610.aspx)

[ValleyTalk]

Youngstown State
2016: @ West Virginia
2017: @ Pittsburgh

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

In 2016,UR plays six(6) home games including Norfolk State(H) on 9/10

The triumphant return. Hide your Colt 45.

Also really hope this doesn't mean we have a Week 3 bye next year.

I had hoped to do the FCS/FBS double-header in two weeks but Temple's game against Memphis will be an afternoon kickoff. As it is, I'll be at #151 only. When Temple plays at Navy I'll be there!

[WestCoastAggie]

The NC A&T Aggies have Tulsa & Kent State in '16. Then we have Charlotte in '17 followed by E. Carolina in '18. Lastly, we go to Duke in '19 and '21

[melloware13]

As of now, these are our future OOC schedules:
2016: Delaware State (9/3), @ Lafayette (9/10), @ Wake Forest (9/17)
2017: Delaware State (9/2), @ Virginia Tech (9/9), Cornell (9/16)
2018: Lafayette (9/8), 2 more TBA
2019: @ Pittsburgh (8/31), Delaware State (9/7), 2 more TBA
2020: @ NC State (9/5), Delaware State (9/12), 1 more TBA

As far as FBS opponents go that's a great slate! No "elite level" opponents and no slugs either. I've been to ECU and Kent State for Temple games. I thoroughly enjoyed both. ECU has a really good game day atmosphere. Their campus is really nice too! KSU is close to the Pro Football HOF and several other attractions.
