Future Schedules

Re: Future Schedules

Is there a downside to this? $400,000 in the bank. Now can schedule another game. Here's an idea, take some of that $400,000 and make sure we have a 6th home game. SUPERBUNNY

Only downside is for people like me who are from MN and are Gopher fans. Looks like it could be a positive for SDSU.

Re: Future Schedules

I wouldn't think a contract like this would be written such that it could be sold from one host school to another, but the devil's in the details.

My best guess is that Minny and TCU just agreed that TCU would fork over the buyout of SDSU from Minny's contract.

TCU and SDSU would (and always have been) free to negotiate a game between them, but that would be separate and distinct from the SDSU-Minny contract.

Re: Future Schedules

I don't think TCU has bought out the game...just not yet. Correct?

• On Sept. 5, 2015, TCU will play the Gophers at TCF Bank Stadium, and the Gophers won’t pay anything. In fact, Minnesota was previously scheduled to play South Dakota State on that date, but TCU agreed to take over that contract, which includes a $400,000 buyout for which Minnesota is no longer responsible.

Re: Future Schedules

Star Trib Gopher beat writer just tweeted that the Gophers are dropping the 2015 Jacks game , and that TCU is taking on the game as part of a Gopher -TCU agreement.

Is TCU taking on the game with us or are they taking on the buyout?

Re: Future Schedules

Butler is in the Pioneer League...conference mate of Valpo. D1 no scholarships.

The last time we hosted a Pioneer League football opponent was 05-06 when we beat Valpo 69-6. I think the year before, NDSU shut out Valpo and I think the score was 63-0. I recall that the Valpo coach, in the post-game press conference, vowed he'd never schedule a scholarship program again.

Valpo and nearly everyone in the Pioneer League have great BB programs. I noticed Bulter took Valpo 56-17 in fb last season, so Valpo is still struggling in FB but gave MSU a good fight today in bb. So we can never tell. I glad we chose the defending champ for a game. It could be close.

Yes their schedule was weak, jacks should win by at least 14+

Yes, they were 3-8 last year but Butler was 8-3.

Re: Future Schedules

Wasn't WIU a MVFC bottom dweller last year (like 4-7 or 3-8), or am I remembering something wrong?If we don't beat them by 21 or more I'll be surprised and disappointed.

Re: Future Schedules

This might be tougher than you think. They gave WIU a game last year (23-15) and were 8-3.

Re: Future Schedules

Really good opening game for us. Non-scholly DI schools are the perfect opener because they give you a tune up game and a victory against them counts towards the playoffs.

Re: Future Schedules

I am so glad we got a home game. A 7th road game would really suck. A home game even if it cost money means an extra chance to win a game to help get to playoffs I think is worth it. On my soap box now and I've said it before and will say it again having as many home games is so important to build a culture of sdsu football. If we want a nice shiny new stadium 5 home games won't cut it imo. 6 helps with bringing more revune which can help if having to pay a game to come in. But to build a stadium and increase fan support we need 6 home games more years then not. Especially if we can play 12 games then there are no excuses to not have 6-6.
