We have games on future schedules against Rice (CUSA) and Tulsa (AAC) owes us a game.

In order to schedule somebody close, they have to agree.

Geez.

I love scheduling MAC programs. In fact I’d love to play MAC programs enough that we can go up and recruit their footprint for OL.

Agreed! And considering the dumpster fire in football scheduling he walked into at UL, I will give him some time to fix it going forward.

Isn't Maggard on with Jay today? If so, I would live to hear the reasoning behind this agreement.

This is a Scott Farmer type game. We would have lampooned Farmer for a game like this.

This is his third spring. Granted he took his sweet time starting that first spring.

EMU just beat Purdue and is coming off a bowl birth.
This is not some pity deal with a down and out D1 program.
They are on the rise. It won't surprise me at all if they are a MAC power by the time we play them.

I suggest you talk to DR. Maggard before you make this statement without information and context. I can tell you this, we were literally four years behind in contracting future scheduling while others have already come to agreements. That left him with very few FBS options unless something falls into his lap. You are a smart man, talk to me after you have that conversation with him.
